Acclaimed novelist, activist and columnist Kerry Hudson in conversation on poverty in Britain today.

Kerry Hudson is proudly working class but she was never proudly poor. The poverty she grew up in was all-encompassing, grinding and often dehumanising. Always on the move with her single mother, Kerry attended nine primary schools and five secondaries, living in B&Bs and council flats.

Lowborn is a powerful, personal exploration of poverty in Britain. In it Kerry revisits the towns she grew up in to try to discover what being poor really means in Britain today and whether anything has changed.
