This Friday on Tea & Tattle, I’m joined by the author Ingrid Persaud to discuss Ingrid’s debut novel, Love After Love, which is set in Trinidad and New York City and tells the story of an unconventional family: Betty, her son Solo and their lodger Mr Chetan. When a revelation about the past shatters the bonds between Betty and Solo, all three characters must learn how to embrace themselves for who they truly are and to live a life on their own terms, guided by self-compassion and love. Love After Love reads like a love letter to Trinidad and is heart-breaking tale of motherhood, friendship and family.  I so enjoyed chatting to Ingrid about how winning a short story prize began her career as a novelist, as well as the inspiration behind her book and why she loves writing about food in fiction.  Read the show notes: teaandtattlepodcast.com/home/141 Get in touch!
