Hello to all you fabulous Bookends! We are so delighted to be bringing you a Bonus Book Club episode this month, where we are in conversation with the incredible Man Booker Prize longlisted author Sophie Mackintosh with her latest novel, the Women's Prize long-listed 'Cursed Bread'. We chatted to Sophie about her experiences with rejection, how a historical poisoning in rural France inspired her latest book and why intimacy and desire are some of our favourite themes ever! We hope you enjoy this chat and if you do, as always, please do give us a rate, review and subscribe as it helps us to reach other Bookends!
