 The bestselling author talks about her new novel
Inspired by an article about writing a bestseller, Lesley Lokko drew on her experience of living in South Africa to write her first novel, “Sundowners”. It did indeed become a bestseller and now she’s published “Bitter Chocolate”: an epic rollercoaster about keeping secrets, following the lives of three women through Haiti, America, Britain and Ghana. A trained architect, Lesley tells Jane about why she wanted to write, her thoughts on the relationship between race and architecture, and where – as she’s of shared British/Ghanaian parentage – she considers home.
Bitter Chocolate, by Lesley Lokko is published by Orion, 10 January 2008 ISBN-13: 9780752869094 | |
