Has the 1970s generation of parents, which often rejected the conventional happy families model, left a legacy of emotional confusion for their children?
Author Talitha Stevenson, who feels she grew up too fast among families affected by divorce, certainly thinks so. Author Talitha Stevenson and creative writing academic Aileen La Tourette, whose own turbulent family life was affected by 70s activism join Martha to discuss what has happened to a generation of young people who started out in life disappointed in love. Tell us your views 'An Empty Room' by Talitha Stevenson is published by Virago; ISBN: 1-86-49-983-X
