Stoke Newington Literary Festival 2022 – Emma Kennedy

Comedian, writer, actor and Celebrity Masterchef Champion Emma published Letters From Brenda this year - a searingly funny, wry and honest account of her relationship with her mum. Brenda's letters, found after her death, fill in some of the gaps of Emma's life. She talks to Suzi Feay about what it's like to find out family secrets, finding humour in tragedy and the universal experience of dealing with complicated mums. Guaranteed to make you laugh, but bring some Kleenex just in case.
