Esther Freud’s sister (and other love[r]s)


Listen Later

Author Esther Freud first shot to fame with her debut novel, Hideous Kinky, back in 1992. Her tenth novel, My Sister and Other Lovers, reunites readers with sisters Lucy and Bea, and astutely captures the realities of being a sister and having a sister. Spoiler: as much as pop culture would like us to think it, a sister is not a built-in BFF. 

Our Mick chats to Esther about sisters, siblings, parents, the slippery nature of memory, and love in its many forms.


My Sister and Other Lovers is published by Bloomsbury and out now
