Clover Stroud On The Red Of My Blood

Clover Stroud is a journalist and the award-nominated author of books including the Sunday Times bestselling My Wild and Sleepless Nights. In The Red of My Blood, she recalls how her sister Nell Gifford, founder of Gifford’s circus, died of breast cancer at just 46. Days before, Nell had been given years to live. This raw, lyrical and ultimately hopeful memoir examines how death, once embraced, can exist alongside us, and even enrich our daily lives. It has already drawn acclaim from Elizabeth Gilbert, Lisa Taddeo and Juliet Nicholson among others. 5x15 brings together five outstanding individuals to tell of their lives, passions and inspirations.
