There is something unique about the bond of motherhood but with
social media adding to the pressures already present, how do we
keep our expectations realistic when it comes to being a good
parent? And does history have anything to teach us about our
modern approach? Maggie O’Farrell talks about bridging the gap of
400 years in her fictional portrait of Anne Hathaway and the
Shakespeare family in Hamnet. And Giovanna Fletcher joins us in
the studio to talk about the realities of modern motherhood; the
tears and the tantrums. And that’s just the parents.

Books mentioned: Letters on Motherhood, Hamnet, Motherwell, The
Unit, The Republic of Motherhood.
