On her new novel 'Strange Music'

In 1837 an ailing Elizabeth Barrett is confined to bed, suffering from a debilitating illness. On the Barrett family estate in Jamaica, a Creole maidservant is struggling to save her child from the abusive attentions of the master. Laura joins Jenni to talk about her new novel, 'Strange Music' and how she entwines the lives and aspirations of three very different women.

Strange Music’ by Laura Fish published by Random House, ISBN: 978-0224080859
