Hosted by acclaimed author Cathy Rentzenbrink, the fifteenth edition of The Bookseller Podcast features Alice O’Keeffe, Caroline Sanderson and Philip Jones discussing all of this month’s book news and reviews – from Simon Cowell to stonemasonry, via Scotland and Shakespeare. This episode we also have an exciting interview with Hilary Mantel’s editor Nick Pearson of 4th Estate, chatting to Cathy about his relationship with Hilary and the eagerly awaited publication of The Mirror and the Light later this month. In author interviews, Cathy and Pete Paphides reminisce about growing up in the 80s as they discuss his new memoir Broken Greek, while actor Robert Webb tells us about the challenges he faced writing his first fiction novel Come Again. And playing us out – an extract from Hamnet written by Maggie O’Farrell and read by Daisy Donovan. The Bookseller Podcast is a Heavy Entertainment Production.
