Summary

I welcome author Emma Flint to the show in this interview episode to discuss her second novel, 'Other Women'.

Emma grew up in Newcastle upon Tyne and has been writing fiction since she knew what stories were. She graduated from the University of St. Andrews with an MA in English Language and Literature, later completing a novel-writing course at the Faber Academy.

Since childhood, she has been drawn to true crime stories, developing an encyclopaedic knowledge of real-life murder cases. She is equally fascinated by notorious historical figures and by unorthodox women – past, present and fictional.

'Other Women' is a devastating story of fantasy, obsession and shame inspired by a murder that took place six years after the end of the Great War.

The paperback edition was released by Picador on March 7, 2024, and is available to purchase here:

1:07.8	We've just had World Book Day and my little girl at school went dressed up as
1:12.9	Rapunzel, which isn't really a book, but there's a book tie-in to the film Tangled. But
1:18.7	anyway, so I'm just wondering where your love comes from and what's your earliest memory of
1:23.4	literature, reading and did they even have World Book Day? I don't remember it when I was at school.
1:28.8	They definitely didn't have World Book Day. The first memory I've got, I guess,
