Lauren Chater in conversation with Marie Matteson
When her husband is lost at sea, Mary Burton Gulliver, midwife and herbalist, is forced to rebuild her life without him. But three years later when Lemuel Gulliver is brought home, fevered and communicating only in riddles, her ordered world is turned upside down. Chater’s Gulliver’s Wife is a historical and fascinating portrait of how women lived then and why. Lauren will be in conversation with Reading’s own Marie Matteson.
