It's live from Primadonna 2021!

A special edition of the podcast, recorded live at Primadonna 2021, and featuring two authors whose careers are inextricably linked with the festival.Eva Verde's memoir piece ‘I am not your Tituba’ had just been selected to form part of Kit De Waal's anthology Common People when she came to the first Primadonna in 2019. Shortly after, she was signed to write her first novel Lives Like Mine about a dual-heritage mother who embarks on a school-run affair, which was published this summer.Louise Mumford was also at Primadonna 2019 where she met Lisa Milton and told her about an idea for a book she'd been working on. That idea became Sleepless, published by Lisa under the HQ Stories imprint in 2020, marking the start of Louise's career as a professional author.Eva and Louise returned to Primadonna in 2021 where they joined the podcast for this special recording in front of a live audience.(We apologise that some sections of the audio aren't as good as we'd like. That's the problem with recording live!).Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-world-as-it-should-be. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
