About this listen

In this episode of Difficult Women, Rachel sits down with the author Amanda Craig, known for her ‘state of the nation’ novels that explore British society through an often satirical lens. Ahead of the release of her new book ‘High and Low’ in May, they discuss what Amanda believes are the key ingredients for a novel. She also tells Rachel that people have forgotten books are supposed to be entertaining, and explains the inspiration behind the characters she creates. Amanda opens up about her diagnoses with both endometriosis and thyroid cancer, and explains how they opened her eyes to the hardships many in society face, after she was helped through her recovery by a range of people.
