Antonia Honeywell writes, sings, maintains a lively sourdough starter and is constantly surprised by how quickly the children grow up. Her voracious reading habit fuels her warm and incisive interviewing both on her regular local radio show, Booktime Brunch (every Monday morning from 10-12 on Chiltern Voice) and as host and chair of a range of book events. Her writing is driven by a desire to explore human connections in an increasingly polarised world.
