G’day, book clubbers!

Today, we are bringing you an interview with domestic thriller novelist, Sally Hepworth. Sally is a NYT bestselling author who has sold over one million books worldwide. She’s written eight novels including The Good Sister, The Younger Wife, and The Mother-In-Law - the latter has very excitingly been optioned for a TV show by Amy Poehler. Sally’s latest novel, Darling Girls, comes out today, and it follows three women who are drawn back to their past - and the foster mother they ran away from decades ago - after bones are discovered under the farmhouse from their childhood. In this chat, Sally speaks about deciding to transition from HR to writing a book during maternity leave, what inspires Sally to include such a wide spectrum of neurodiverse characters in her books, and what she makes sure to end every chapter with.
