This week we're delighted to bring you an author we've been trying to tempt onto the podcast since day one. Finally, it's Eva Rice! Eva's wonderful books are mentioned frequently on the show, so we are beyond excited to present this wide-ranging conversation with her. There's a discussion about Eva's wonderful new book This Could be Everything plus the influence of her dad (legendary lyricist Sir Tim Rice) on her writing, Jesus as a teen icon, deep dives into Enid Blyton, some very exciting Jilly Cooper news and how Mellors from Lady Chatterley's Lover might be the prototype Harry Styles. Plus, as an added bonus, some music inspired by Eva's latest novel! Make sure you listen to the end of the show.
