In Diana Evans’ previous book we were introduced to the couple
Melissa and Michael. That novel, Ordinary People, was shortlisted
for the Women’s Prize for Fiction, the Rathbones Folio Prize, and
the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction. It was also beloved by
readers and so many of those will be delighted to hear that her
latest novel, A House for Alice, continues their story, together
with that of Melissa’s family, headed up by her mother, the
titular Alice. I sat down with Diana to talk about being driven
by your characters, the complexities of family dynamics and why
there will never be any place like home.
