Synopsis:
How can a deaf woman speak out in a hearing world? Sarah Marsh explores in a fascinating conversation this morning. Her debut novel, A Sign of Her Own, is an evocative story of connection, concealment, and betrayal about a deaf student of Alexander Graham Bell. Drawing on diaries from Bell’s students and her own experience of deafness, March shares what compelled her to tell this hidden history of the invention of the telephone. Chaired by Sarah Smith.
