My guest today is the excellent Abigail Dean, author of Girl A. Formerly a Waterstones bookseller, she spent five years as a lawyer in London, and then took the summer of 2018 off to work on her debut novel, Girl A, ahead of her thirtieth birthday, which is now a Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller. She now works as a lawyer for Google, and is currently writing her second novel called The Conspiracies. Hope you enjoy this episode! (This was recorded as a live event with Waterstones to celebrate the launch of Abbie's book, so very pleased to re-post it here for you all to enjoy.
