Honorary Scousers Moved by Liverpool’s Surprising Beauty
Yesterday, following our Reading for Wellbeing Conference, TRO's Director, Jane Davis, took Marilynne Robinson and Maryanne Wolf on a tour of Liverpool. While Marilynne and Maryanne were moved by the tour, Jane was staggered to realise how much she didn't know about her home city.
