For this episode of the Writing Women Podcast, I researched one of my favourite novels to dig out Daphne du Maurier's incredible use of the floral metaphor. From the frightening, other-worldly rhododenrons to the confines of the rose gardens to the mournful hydrangeas, the flowers in Manderley reflect their inhabitants and give clues to how the novel is going to end from it's opening paragraph.

Happy new year (at the end of February) from me at the Writing Women Pod! This time I cover falling in love, the perils of being adored by a crowd and by the one you love all in this incredibly beautiful, favourite read of 2022, The Giant Dark by Sarvat Hasin.
For my final episode of the year, I wanted to return to a poet who has obsessed, confounded and finally been settled by me throughout my young adolscence and into my academic years, Sylvia Plath.
It's been quite an inaugural year for the Writing Women Podcast and I have loved every second of it. Thank you for coming along for the journey and may there be many more episodes and books to come!
