S1E20 In At The Deep End: Love, lust and control with Kate Davies

Sexuality is one of the biggest ways in which we identify and understand ourselves. And yet there’s an educational void when it comes to same sex relationships. That’s why Kate Davies wrote ‘In at the Deep End’. Drawing on her own experiences, the book explores the story of a woman who comes out as a lesbian later in life, with no knowledge of what to expect. It tackles issues of a controlling relationship, lust vs love, and the difficulties of being thrust headlong into the unknown. In this episode she discusses the need to write more honest accounts of the lives of minority groups, why the trait that makes a character a minority shouldn’t be your story’s only hook, and how our perception of right and wrong is more nuanced than we realise.
