The Literary Edit Podcast

For the very first episode of The Literary Edit Podcast, I was joined by OBE, Sunday Times bestselling author and founder of The Women's Prize for Fiction, the utterly wonderful Kate Mosse.

You can read about Kate’s original list of Desert Island Books here (https://thelitedit.com/desert-island-books-kate-mosse/) and the ones we discuss in this episode are:

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Sleeping Murder by Agatha Christie

Small Island by Andrea Levy

The Country Girls by Edna O’Brien

The Street by Ann Petry

The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu

Dear Life by Rachel Clarke

Silent Spring by Rachel Carson

Other books we spoke about included Girl, Woman, Other by Bernadine Evaristo, Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell, We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver and this year’s Women’s Prize for Fiction longlist. 

If you’d like to buy any of the books we discussed in the episode, please consider doing so from the list I created on Bookshop.org (https://bookshop.org/lists/the-literary-edit-podcast-picks-kate-mosse), an online bookstore with a mission to financially support local, independent bookstores.
