Cariad talks to writer Kim Sherwood (Testament, Bath Novel Award 2018) about the death of her Grandfather, the actor George Baker, who died in 2011 and how his death and her experiences of grief had inspired her to write her first novel, Testament. As ever they talk grief, self confidence + male only staircases.
