Welcome back to LLW, this month we speak to author Lucy Jago about her new novel A Net For Small Fishes, which examines two real life women who were at the centre of a 16th century English scandal. We speak to Lucy about her wealth of historical research, recentering female narratives and why tearing War and Peace in half is the way to finally get round to reading it. Then, continuing the historical fiction theme, we deep dive into Bridgerton, which Helena first encountered age 13 on her Palm Pilot and has now become a Netflix TV show that’s broken records and made waves across the world. We discuss the colour conscious casting, the romance novel genre and what we hope to see from the second series, set to star Sex Education actor Simone Ashley. Recommendation wise, Francesca is seeking post-Bridgerton escapism via Netflix’s Virgin River, while Helena is enjoying more historical discussions via BBC podcast You’re Dead to Me. Stay safe and well everyone, and we’ll see next month!
