At 24, Vesna Goldsworthy's life was one of great accomplishment: a top university student, radio broadcaster and a poet who performed her work to over 30,000 people. Her powerful memoir, Chernobyl Strawberries, explores the exile and displacement she felt after her move to England, wrought by her diagnosis with cancer and the collapse of the old Yugoslavia she left behind. Vesna Goldsworthy is joined by writer and critic Tim Judah to discuss her powerful new work.
