The Jewellery Equivalent of a Line of Cocaine - with Veronica Henry

Screenwriter, radio script writer and best selling author, Veronica Henry joins us from North Devon to discuss her career, her life and her special pieces of jewellery. Having written well over twenty novels, her latest 'One Night At The Château', is out in paperback today. Warm-hearted and page-turning, it has all the hallmarks of her writing that has earned her a legion of loyal fans. Refreshingly honest and down-to-earth, Veronica talks about her writing process and how, having been through a divorce, covid, bereavement and the menopause in her fifties, is now in a new phase of her life. She says she feels simultaneously super-wise and sorted and then bewildered, but she says there comes a time when you can't be shy anymore. She shows us her the beautiful art deco ring that belonged to her flamboyant grandmother, a lobster necklace from her sons, a mushroom necklace that represents friendship and some glitzy earrings which she says are her armour at any party. She calls them the jewellery equivalent of a line of cocaine. She says her life hack is to get yourself a signature dish. Hers is crab linguine, but she's passed on some wisdom from Anthony Bourdain and has taught her sons to make a great omelette.
