Postcards From Midlife

From bedsit to best-seller: novelist Jane Fallon on her second-act success

Book club special: Trish and Lorraine meet ‘Queen of the Revenge Comedy’ Jane Fallon who reveals how she ditched a 20-year career in TV to pursue a childhood ambition to write novels in her 40s (and why it’s all thanks to menopause). She also explains the reason she’s never felt overwhelmed by partner Ricky Gervais’s fame, and why she prefers hanging out with her cat Pickle to treading the red carpet. Plus: The best midlife reading list - discover your hosts' new book tips for spring; who would be Lulu in Starstruck &amp; dialling back to the 80s for a Nostalgia Noodle.
