In Conversation: Lamorna Ash & Charlotte Hobson
Award-winning author Lamorna Ash discusses her new book with fellow writer, Charlotte Hobson.
Ash is the author of the acclaimed Dark, Salt, Clear, which described life in Newlyn with powerful intelligence and lyricism. It shortlisted for the Wainwright Nature Writing Prize in 2020, won the Somerset Maugham Award in 2021, and was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. Ash lives in London and writes for the The Guardian, The Times, The Telegraph and the New Statesman. She traces her Cornish connections back through her mother, grandmother and great grandmother.
In her latest book, Don't Forget We're Here Forever: A New Generation's Search for Religion, she examines our universal need for nourishment of the soul. Following the conversion of two friends, Ash is intrigued to discover that in the midst of disconnection and apathy, religion seems to be speaking to a new generation. She embarks on a journey across Britain - from Evangelical youth festivals to Quaker meetings, silent Jesuit retreats and monastic communities - to investigate what is driving young people today to embrace Christianity.
Praise for Don't Forget We're Here Forever: 'Spellbinding. An incredible exploration of how young people are navigating the complex world we find ourselves in today' Katy Hessel, author of The Story of Art without Men.
