Welcome back to The Conversation with Nadine Matheson!


In this episode, I am delighted to welcome the talented author Clemence Michelon, whose latest novel Our Last Resort is captivating readers everywhere. Join us as we explore Clemence's journey from journalist to novelist, delving into the challenges and triumphs that have shaped her writing career.


Clemence shares her unique insights on managing the pressures of success, especially after the acclaim of her debut novel, The Quiet Tenant. We discuss the emotional rollercoaster of publishing, the intricacies of writing dual timelines, and how her experiences as an immigrant have influenced her storytelling.


In Our Last Resort, we follow siblings Frida and Gabriel as they attempt to mend their fractured relationship during a stay at a remote hotel, only for their plans to unravel when a murder occurs. Clemence reveals the inspiration behind her characters and how her own life experiences inform her narratives, creating a rich tapestry of human emotion and connection.


This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for aspiring writers and anyone interested in the art of storytelling.
