Summary

Zibby interviews British-Nigerian debut author and book editor Ore Agbaje-Williams about The Three of Us, a mesmerizing, sharp, unputdownable domestic comedy told brilliantly over the course of one day about the long-standing tensions between a husband, his wife, and her best friend that finally come to a breaking point. Ore describes her book-filled childhood, her career in publishing, and her genius agent who guided her through many, many book ideas before The Three of Us came to be. She also reveals how writing a book has changed her as an editor (and vice versa), her next project, and her best advice for aspiring writers.
