Natasha Lester - 'When You Write About Things You Love, Your Readers Can Feel It'

Natasha Lester worked as a marketing executive before returning to university to study creative writing. She completed a Master of Creative Arts as well as her first novel, What Is Left Over, After, which won the T.A.G. Hungerford Award for Fiction. Her second novel, If I Should Lose You, was published in 2012, followed by A Kiss from Mr. Fitzgerald, Her Mother's Secret and the Top 10 Australian and international bestsellers The Paris Seamstress and The French Photographer. The Age described Natasha as 'a remarkable Australian talent' and her work has been published in numerous anthologies and journals.

With the release of 'The Riviera House', Scott sat down with Natasha to discuss Rose Valland, her love of Paris, bringing history around women to light, and more.
