Episode 74: Clover Stroud

Clover is a bestselling writer and journalist. She has a popular platform on Substack called On the Way Life Feels where she tackles big topics like motherhood, grief, marriage, sex, death, love and creativity. She’s the author of four memoirs, including the Sunday Times bestsellers My Wild and Sleepless Nights: A Mother's Story, and The Red of My Blood: A Death and Life Story. Her first memoir, The Wild Other, was shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize, and her most recent, The Giant on the Skyline, was a best book of 2024. She currently lives in Washington DC with her husband and three of her five children.


In this conversation, Clover talks about the death of her sister, Nell, the cultural differences around death in the UK and US, and how we sometimes embody those who have died.


You can also watch a subtitled version of the conversation on YouTube.


On the Marie Curie Couch aims to open up conversations about death, break down the taboo and encourage people to share their end of life plans.
