Something to Eat and Something to Read, Episode 3

It’s episode 3 and reading-wise we have a new experience for Sophie and a familiar one for Germaine. It’s the world of the psychological thriller and a conversation about how food writing can help pace a page-turning novel, add subtext to character development, create a time and place, and add a depth of emotional atmosphere. Join us as we enter the world of Nicci French and their latest book The Unheard.

This episode also sees us answer a letter about many changes happening in a short space of time and the ways in which adding transitional moments into the day can give breathing space and act as a bridge between our different worlds.
