Esther Freud’s sister (and other love[r]s)

from Standard Issue Podcast · host Standard Issue

Author Esther Freud first shot to fame with her debut novel, Hideous Kinky, back in 1992. Her tenth novel, My Sister and Other Lovers, reunites readers with sisters Lucy and Bea, and astutely captures the realities of being a sister and having a sister.

My Sister and Other Lovers is published by Bloomsbury and out now Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
