Claudia Hammond Returns
Book Shambles
Claudia Hammond was on Book Shambles back in 2016 and now the host of the BBC’s All in the Mind returns to talk to Robin about her new book The Art of Rest. They chat about how one of the most restful things you can do is, of course, read! They also chat about the evolving public perception of mental health, particularly in old mental health books as well as Little Women, Laura Dodsworth, Sally Rooney and much more!
