While we take a little break, we're sharing just a few of our favourite ever episodes from the archives. This week we're with the author who has probably been discussed on the show more than any other and one of our favourite writers of all time - the legendary Marian Keyes! Marian is one of the most successful Irish novelists of all time, selling over 30 million books in 33 different languages. When we chatted to Marian, she was about to release the brilliant, chart-topping Grown Ups. Since then we've seen a sequel to Rachel's Holiday, Again Rachel and her latest My Favourite Mistake. We talked to Marian about the pleasures of reading, the joys of Jilly Cooper, why she's craving fictional glamour and struggling with Jane Austen. And as this episode was released on the week Daisy's novel Insatiable was launched, there's a bonus, exclusive (and steamy!) clip from the audiobook. Find a full list of the books Sophie mentioned at our Bookshop.Org store.
