We all grow up with a sense of the expectations our family or,
indeed, wider society might have of us: grow up, get a job, buy a
house, get married, have kids, settle down. And yet every single
one of those has been challenged by millennial life. Emma Gannon
is well-known for her observations on modern working life and in
her debut novel, Olive, her eponymous heroine dares to articulate
that she doesn't want to have children, only to find that it
remains taboo. We spoke with Emma about choosing to be
child-free, choosing fiction to express it, and the special bonds
of female friendship.
