Bonus: Interview with Jennifer Morag Henderson

Bonus: Interview with Jennifer Morag Henderson

Slightly frog-throated Annie and Jenny interview Highland author Jennifer Morag Henderson about her new book, Daughters of the North. Daughters of the North explores the life of Jean Gordon, from the Far North of Scotland who lived from 1546 to 1629. We learn of the Far North of Scotland during the reign of Mary Queen of Scots, the industries of Sutherland, and some intrigues of the Early Modern court. We share a love of archives, historical research, and the falconry display of Dunrobin Castle. Content warning: this episode contains some sensitive discussions of death and sexual violence, listener discretion is advised.
