In this episode of The Whole Truth: Motherhood and the Writing Life, Nadia Mahjouri chats with Liz Evans - author, psychotherapist, academic, ex-rock journalist (and friend of 90s icons Eddie Vedder and Kurt Cobain among others) and mother of 3, including twins.

We discuss Liz’ feminist psychological thriller Catherine Wheel and the ways her characters navigate through rage, maternal ambivalence, and grief over unborn children. And the beautiful Japanese Jizo - dolls to commemorate the souls of children not born for any reason.

Liz shares how went from a rock journalist in the 90s with no kids until she was 42 to a mother of 3 just a few years later and how she navigates making time to write in the midst of it all.
