Join writer and performer Roxy Dunn to celebrate the release of her tender, devastating and sharply funny debut novel, As Young as This.
Elliot. Joe. Tommy. Nathanael. Wren. Oliver. Malik. Zach. Frank. Patrick. Noah. These are the men Margot has loved, liked, lusted over. Since she was seventeen, she's pictured them like stepping stones - each one bringing her closer to finding someone to share her life with and, eventually, father the children she's always imagined in her future. From her first sexual encounter, to her first love, from grown-up dilemmas to spontaneous thrills, she's soaked up every experience available to her, discovering friendship, joy and despair.
Through all of this she's refined her search until she believes she's arrived at 'the ending' to her story. So how did she find herself here, single at thirty-four, and about to make the biggest decision of her life?
As Young as This is the perfect debut for fans of Dolly Alderton, Meg Mason and Monica Heisey. Roxy is joined in conversation by Alex Peake-Tomkinson as they delve into the ways that people shape us, the plans we make for our lives, and what it means to let go.
A Night In with Roxy Dun was originally broadcast on Wed 3 Apr 2024.
