Bernadette Brennan has written a biography of the award winning author Gillian Mears that reveals a woman her friends called 'skinless'. She was incredibly sensitive and vulnerable to the world around her, absorbing both the emotion and the physical details. She used the experiences of both her life and sometimes ruthlessly she also drew on the lives of those closest to her in her work.
