Esther Freud: Excavating the Intimate

More than 30 years after her indelible debut, Hideous Kinky, Esther Freud brings us her 10th novel, My Sister and Other Lovers: a scalpel-sharp exploration of intrafamilial intimacies, concerning a mother and two daughters. We all live these kinds of stories, day in, day out: love, family, fear, longing, secrets, mistrust. We talk today to a novelist at the peak of her powers about how she captures the universal with such compassion. Chaired by Lennie Goodings.
