Women\\u2019s Prize longlisted author Kirsty Capes joins us to talk about the books of Jacqueline Wilson. We focused on three in particular, The Story Of Tracy Beaker, The Illustrated Mum, and Lola Rose but the conversation took in a lot more than that. We talked about Jacqueline Wilson\\u2019s fearlessness, how the topics in her books intersected with Kirsty\\u2019s life, and about Kirsty\\u2019s PhD which was about depictions of care homes in fiction. It was a fascinating chat.

Kirsty is @kirstycapes. Her latest novel Love Me, Love Me Not is out July 2022.
