Daisy Buchanan

It's great.

But I think her best is Sex and Rage, which is it's really sort of it's auto fiction.

It's very, very autobiographical.

And it's about her main character, Jacaranda, who is Eve.

And her family life and her time in L.A.

and then going off to New York and the world is publishing and just her horror of the East Coast is really, really funny, really fun to read.

I really love a good book about sisters.

And I think that often...

you know, not so much at the moment, but there was certainly a time, you know, I think about obviously Jane Austen's very much the obvious one, but it's such a great way for a writer to explore the relationship between women at a time when that wasn't something that was sort of considered, you know, interesting or respectable or worthy of a novelist's attention.

I think to make it a family story very much

Is that I'm just looking at a book that I've read quite recently, The Fortnight in September by R.C.

Sheriff, which was when that was published.

So such a weird book.

And it's lovely.

I think I heard about it on the Backlisted podcast, which I'm a huge fan of.

And it's about a family of two grown up children in their early 20s, I guess, and their little brother and the mother and father all going away to, I think they go to Borgner Regis on the southern coast in the UK.

And it's really about transition.

It's very closely observed, you know, because it is a very sort of steady what happens in a fortnight.

But

It's probably the last holiday this family will all have together.
