Jo Browning Wroe

In October 1966, a landslide at a colliery spoil tip
buried a school in Aberfan. In A Terrible Kindness, this real
life event is the back drop for Jo Browning Wroe’s fictional
story. 19 year old newly-qualified embalmer William is one of
many who volunteer to attend the disaster, and the novel follows
his life as it continues to unfold.


Jo, who grew up in a crematorium in Birmingham, joins Richard and
Judy to explain why undertaking is often a family business, and
why the process of embalming is so important at disasters in
particular.
