In this episode, Patrick meets the masterful Sarah Winman at her light (and book) abundant flat in London. Best-selling author of Still Life and When God was a Rabbit, her novels are brimming with optimism, poignancy and a profound love of humanity. So, it’s no surprise her work is cherished around the world.
They reflect on the verdant green of her football-filled childhood and Mediterranean azure of her youth, visit the soulful grey of London — where she came out as a gay woman — and finish with the joyful yellow of her autumn years. It’s a touching colour palette crafted and articulated by a true wordsmith. And we’d expect nothing less.
Settle down to listen as Sarah Winman pens her life in colour on the fifteenth episode of The Chromologist.
From seaside Lulworth Blue to sunshine Babouche, discover the colours Sarah chose below.
