Author, Esther Freud - Big Talk Book Club

Welcome to the Big Talk Book Club! This is a special little series within The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show, where we still skip the small talk ... but this time, we're diving into the books that really stay with us. This conversation is with British writer Esther Freud. Esther has written 10 novels… her first book- Hideous Kinky- was based on her own life- and was later turned into a film starring Kate Winslet. Esther is part of a famous family- her sister is the fashion designer Bella Freud… her father was the painter Lucien Freud and her great grandfather was Sigmund Freud. In this episode we talk about her latest novel My Sister and Other Lovers . And the line authors walk between fact and fiction.
