Alice Feeney, BEAUTIFUL UGLY

Zibby is joined by New York Times million-copy bestselling author Alice Feeney to discuss her magnetic, jaw-dropping new thriller, BEAUTIFUL UGLY. Alice delves into the story, which follows struggling author Grady Green a year after his wife’s mysterious disappearance, and what happens when he travels to a tiny Scottish island to get his life back on track... and sees a woman who looks exactly like his missing wife. Alice describes her creative process and explores her novel’s themes of grief, love, identity, and revenge. She also reflects on the balance between fiction and personal experience.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/4068ppKShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
