Miranda Cowley Heller

First time novelist Miranda Cowley Heller has written The Paper
Palace, which joins 50 year old Elle as she steals away from a
family holiday to have sex with her childhood crush for the first
time, while her beloved husband is inside with the rest of her
family. How can Elle choose between two equal but entirely
different men?


Miranda joins Richard and Judy to talk about how her own life
inspired the story in a number of different ways – not least that
she grew up in mesmerising Cape Cod where the book is set. They
also discuss how Miranda wrote the entire novel not knowing
herself what decision her protagonist was ultimately going to
make.
