Rippling Pages: Interviews with Writers

Roisin Dunnett on Time Travel, Protest, and Littering


Listen Later

"It is also difficult to imbue the people and the movements of the past with the complexities we offer ourselves." 


If you were to meet a time traveller from the future, what would you ask them? This is the question Roisin Dunnett asks in her novel, A LINE YOU HAVE TRACED (Magpie Books/Oneworld Publications). Spanning over three centuries, three women are connected by forces they, at first, don’t understand. From post-WWI Britain, to East End London’s modern queer scene, to a portentous dystopian future, Roisin’s novel is coded with messages between the past, present and future. It's published by Magpie Books, an imprint of Oneworld.
