Dame Fiona marked her 80th birthday last year with the publication of 'All the Way to Summer', a beautiful volume of stories; all moving, insightful and written with love.

The final stories trace her own history of love, a memoir of significant people from childhood and beyond.

The collection is the perfect starting point for a conversation about her extraordinary life.

Dame Fiona was speaking to Tessa Nicholson at the 2021 Marlborough Book Festival.
