Five more writers go on five reflective, restorative and often playful journeys in search of the final resting places of their literary heroes.
Today in the first essay of a new series, Naomi Alderman goes in search of Mary Wollstonecraft's tomb in Old St Pancras churchyard - reputedly the spot where, among other things, Wollstonecraft’s daughter Mary Shelley learnt to write. She sheds light on the life of this important feminist pioneer, offering a moving personal reflection on mother-daughter relationships.
Alderman is an award-winning author whose books include Disobedience and The Power, recently adapted into a nine-part TV series.
