Associate Professor of English, Alison Espach joins Phil and Natalie this week, to discuss her break out third novel, The Wedding People. This went straight into the New York Times Top Ten and has been picked up by Tristar to become a movie.
It walks a tightrope of heart wrenching and seriously funny. Alison talks about posh hotels, weddings and her time working the photo both at them, plus her role as an Exec Producer on the movie of her own novel.
TRIGGER WARNING: The plot of this book involves a woman turning up to a hotel where everyone except her is part of a wedding party. The woman has gone there with the express intention of taking her own life. Whilst we don't discuss methods of suicide, it is clearly a theme in this novel and if you might be triggered by that, we'd like very much to direct you to organisations such as the National Suicide Prevention Helpline UK at 0800 689 5652 (6pm to midnight every day), or the Samaritans, who areavailable 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You can call 116 123, or email: jo@samaritans.org.
