Kit de Waal
Book Shambles
On so many previous episodes of Book Shambles guests have talked about how much they love the writing of Kit de Waal and so on this week’s episode Robin and Josie are joined by Kit herself to talk about her new book Supporting Cast. Well, that was the plan but they barely great round to it and spend most of the time talking about classic films, Trevor Howard, struggling at school and then, eventually, her wonderful new book.
By the way, if you’re listening to this episode and wonder where Josie is at the start, she was running a bit late (it’s explained) but joins Robin about 8 minutes in!
