We can't think of a better way to kick off a new series than a fabulously fun and illuminating chat with one of our favourite authors: Mhairi McFarlane! Mhairi has been mentioned frequently on the podcast since we began and she is the beloved author of Mad About You, You Had Me At Hello, Here’s Looking At You, It’s Not Me It’s You, Last Night, Who’s That Girl and her latest Between Us. We talked to her about illicit uses of Judy Blume's Forever, formatively reading Fay Weldon and Gloria Steinem, the social media life of Jane Austen and the highs and lows of holiday reading.
Daisy will be attending the JLF Soneva Fushi literary festival and the Queen's Reading Room Festival, look out for exclusive behind the scenes content from both on her Instagram page @TheDaisyBee.
