On her new novel, Sweetness in the Belly
Lilly is a white Muslim who grows up in North Africa and finds herself in Ethiopia during the turbulent final years of Haile Selassie's empire. There she befriends women whose lives initially seem alien to her own - and falls in love with a doctor. But all their lives are about to be overthrown by the political dramas unfolding around them.
Sweetness in the Belly is the new novel from acclaimed Canadian novelist, Camilla Gibb. She joins Jenni to tell her more about this departure from her earlier, more personal novels.
Sweetness in the Belly by Camilla Gibb is published William Heinemann, ISBN: 0434014532
