For the first episode of the Wyrd Folk Book Club we are talking to author Brigid Lowe about her fierce retelling of the fourth branch of the Mabinogion from the perspective of three women who's struggles form the heart of the narrative. Although Goewin, Arianrhod and Blodeuwedd are not traditionally the protagonists of these tales, their stories have much to teach us about ancient and modern attitudes to women's roles.
For book club listeners, make sure to listen in and then sign up for the first book club meeting at 8pm on Monday 14th December via the sign up sheet on our website or join our book club community chat on our Patreon page.
