  • 'The Lost Diamond' and Beyond: Kathleen McGurl Talks Writing Across Time

    'The Lost Diamond' and Beyond: Kathleen McGurl Talks Writing Across Time
    May 7 2025

    Steve and Sophie are joined by the prolific Kathleen McGurl. Her successful novels usually have one foot in history and one in the present. The latest, The Lost Diamond, dwells on the last days of the British Raj.

    Kathleen talks about the ex-pat reaction to Indian Independence and going 'home', parent-child relationships, and the practicalities of weaving together two stories set in different periods and making a satisfying whole.
