Amy Larocca and Gaby Wood: ‘How to Be Well’

In How to Be Well (londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/stock/how-to-be-wel…), journalist and essayist Amy Larocca takes on the behemoth which is the contemporary ‘wellness’ industry, in prose which Joanna Rakoff has described as a ‘magical synthesis of crackerjack reporting, incisive cultural commentary, and, most importantly, elegant, self-reflective memoir’.

Larocca was in conversation at the Bookshop with journalist and literary critic Gaby Wood.
