The Importance of Being Heard
Date
Sun 8 Jun 2025
Elizabeth Lovatt will be in conversation with Hugo Greenhalgh about the importance of being heard — a theme that runs through both of their recent books, which explore the ways people seek connection and recognition. Elizabeth Lovatt’s debut book, Thank You for Calling the Lesbian Line, reimagines the lives of the women who both called and volunteered for the Lesbian Line in the 1990s
The book also traces Lovatt’s own journey — from accidentally coming out, to disastrous dates, to finding her chosen family. Hugo Greenhalgh, a journalist who played a role in lowering the age of consent, shares the story behind The Diaries of Mr. Lucas, a heartfelt book that preserves the life and memories of Mr. Lucas, a diarist from Clapham. Elizabeth Lovatt is a writer of fiction and creative non-fiction originally from Leicester and now living in London.
