  • Summary

  • Join us for an inspiring and uplifting chat with our guest, best-selling author Freya North to kick off the new season. After taking her son to University, Freya was reminded of her own experience of leaving home for the first time and wrote her sixteenth novel, ‘The Unfinished Business of Edie Browne’. She describes it as a love letter to youth and also a love letter to a time and a place. Set in Manchester in the late 80’s in the golden age of clubbing, Freya talks candidly about that time and how it inspired her to write her moving tale about friendship. After back surgery in 2016, Freya took up cycling and talks about the joy of discovering a new hobby and the very special community that has come into her life as a result. A country girl at heart, she shows us the little silver horse that her father gave her as a child. Not a jewellery wearer as she now lives on a farm, she shows us her very special tanzanite ring - the rarest gem stone in the world and how she came to design it. She also describes how things have come a full circle and how her vintage watch has recently started working again. As well as her hugely successful Instagram chats with other authors, #wednesdaywriters, Freya is also raising money for the Book Trust with The Book Lovers Journal - which she has created as the perfect gift for anyone who loves books. freyanorth.com
