Joan Lingard and her original manuscript
Wonderful moment with Joan Lingard on Friday when I was recording with her for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Ulster doc "Kevin & Sadie". She's holding the original handwritten manuscript for her first Kevin & Sadie book "The Twelfth Day of July" which she wrote in 1969.
JoanΜύhas gifted all her manuscripts to the where they are currently on show for the first time.Μύ
She was tickled pink she had to wearΜύwhite gloves to touch her own work.

You can hear my conversation with her, including a very emotional visit to her old house inΜύ Holland Gardens, East Belfast, the first time she had been back inside her childhood home in over 60 years, on Sunday 11th JulyΜύat 1.30pm Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio Ulster.
