'It was these circles of people that saved my life'

Ben Jackson on BBC Radio Leicester

Available for over a year

'The Soul Library' was set up as a place for women to come together to read inspirational books and share with each other experiences and insights in what they read. They meet once a week in Leicester with the aim of 'making peace with life and its transitions, and of being human.' But as Helen McCarthy found out, it's so much more than that.
