Isy Suttie Returns

Book Shambles

Isy Suttie was one of our first guests on the podcast many years ago now and as her first ever novel, Jane is Trying, hits shelves this month she returns to talk about with Robin and Josie. They chat about the experience of not writing a novel to sound like a novel, not letting Isy’s mum read it, being concerned that coffee granules could be cancerous moles and a whole lot more!
