Lizzie Nunnery's Essay on BBC Radio 3

Lizzie Nunnery reads her Essay, Over the Water, Writing Belonging as part of The Essay, Land Sea and Sky season on BBC Radio 3 tonight at 11pm. Recorded by water, at the pierhead on the Mersey and on the streets of Liverpool, her essay recalls the pleasure of growing up in a city with beaches which she took for granted, then her growing awareness of how the city grew from the meeting of the land and the sea, how the traffic of people and ideas created the identity of the place, the character of the people, and her own sensibility as a writer.
