/

In the second of this series of the Fremantle Press Podcast, editor and critic Jess Gately talks to Susan Midalia about her novel The Art of Persuasion.

Twenty-five-year-old Hazel is reading the classics, starting with ‘A’. It’s one way to pass the time when you’ve quit your job and lost your way. But then she has a chance encounter with an irresistible older man. When Hazel is partnered with him on a political campaign, her attraction is deepened by the strength of his convictions. Adam seems to be attracted to her too – but why is he resisting? And what does Jane Austen have to teach a young woman about life, love and literature in the twenty-first century?

Susan Midalia just one of a number of exciting guests appearing at the Fremantle Press Great Big Book Club Tea Party. Register your interest here.
