This Tuesday on Tea &amp; Tattle, I’m joined by the author and editor Marina Kemp, to discuss Marina’s debut novel, Nightingale, which was also published under the title ‘Marguerite’ in America. I thought Nightingale was one of the best first novels I’ve read, with its beautiful, evocative prose and haunting story. Drawing on her own experience of the dynamics between patient and carer, Marina wrote the story of a young nurse, Marguerite, who leaves Paris to care for an elderly man, Jerome, who is coming near the end of his life at a large, remote house in the French countryside. Dealing with her own secrets and grief, Marguerite welcomes the solitude of her new position, but she gradually becomes acquainted with other members of the village: Suki, a muslim woman who feels ostracised within the small community, Henri, a farmer who is desperately trying to hide a secret of his own, and his increasingly suspicious wife, Brigitte.   Nightingale is an exquisite story of love and loss, and I so enjoyed talking to Marina about the inspiration behind her book, as well as the realities of caregiving and why language, choice and dignity are such important themes in her book.   Read the show notes: teaandtattlepodcast.com/home/139 Get in touch!
