“Tamara is going to kill her mother, but she isn’t the villain…”

The Sound Mirror spans three familial generations from British Occupied India to Southern England following the joys and heartaches of Tamara, Claire and Ada. But how do their lives intersect? Through intimately rendered characters, Heidi James has crafted a haunting and moving examination of class, war, violence, family and shame from the rich details of ordinary lives. And we’re so delighted to have an exclusive reading from Heidi on the podcast, just for you!
