The Mirror Book is one of the most-talked about memoirs of the
year. In this exceptional book, Charlotte Grimshaw interrogates
her memories in an effort to narrate her own life, a story that often
negates the version as told by her parents, one of whom is the writer
Carl Stead. What is at stake when your version of the truth is at odds
with your family’s preferred version? What is the role of art in the
making of a personal masterpiece? Charlotte talks with Catherine Robertson about the complexities of telling your own story.
