Journalist and novelist, Ali Lowe, joined me to discuss her latest novel, ‘The School Run’.

Topics discussed include:

- The real-world inspo for ‘The School Run’.

- St Ignatius Boys’ School - what such an institution represents to these characters and how they can find themselves willing to do anything - anything at all - in order to secure a spot for their child in such a place.

- The similarities between parent and child - how parents can be hard and harsh on their child out of fear that they are seeing mini versions of themselves.

- Obligations. How promises and the keeping of them can define and drive characters.

- And a ton more!

Thanks very much to Ali for talking with me about ‘The School Run’ on the show.
