An Evening with Catherine Carr in Cambridge

Join award-winning documentary maker, presenter, podcast producer and reporter Catherine Carr as she discusses her new book Who’s the Favourite – a heartfelt, judgement-free book that explores the joys and complexities of adult sibling relationships.

For most of us, our sibling relationships are the longest we will ever have. Whether loving or fraught, competitive or codependent, these bonds shape us in lasting ways. In Who’s the Favourite: The Loving, Messy Realities of Sibling Relationships, Catherine Carr invites us to look at our brothers and sisters beyond the labels assigned in childhood. Combining real-life stories with expert insight, she explores birth-order stereotypes, favouritism, trauma, blended families, only children, siblings with additional needs, and the pain of estrangement and bereavement.
