Charlotte Edwardes is an award-winning journalist and war correspondent who has interviewed some of the biggest names in politics, entertainment and culture. This week, she joins the Plodcast for a walk from Lulworth Cove to Durdle Door to talk about her first novel, Trouble Was.Set in the countryside during the drought summer of 1976, Trouble Was explores family life and trauma through the eyes of a child. Charlotte talks about how she came to write the book – and reveals tales from her life as a journalist – with Plodcast host Fergus Collins (who hopes to pick up interviewing tips along the way).Trouble Was is published by Bloomsbury.
