This week, we’re back at Rockwater, Hove with River Cottage writer, Lucy Brazier telling a live audience about her memoir, The Honesty Box.
It’s a highly moving and very funny diary about healing a broken marriage and growing enough vegetables to fill her new distraction, an honesty box. But the rickety old receptable outside her garden gate is also a metaphor for the treasure trove she finds as she lifts the lid on the mental health crisis her husband – and the rest of the family – have been living with.
We begin with a question from the audience about the title, and if it was always meant to have such a brilliant double meaning.
Pop over to Gilly's Substack for Extra Bites of Lucy and the audience Q&A at Cooking the Books Live.
