Listen "ZOË SOMMERVILLE"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode Anna and Sam have all the writing chat with Zoë Sommerville, including a reading from her novel The Marsh House and some gentle advice about not being too hard on yourself when you've lost writing mojo.
Zoë Somerville is a writer and English teacher. Her debut novel, The Night of the Flood, was published in September 2020 by Head of Zeus. It is inspired by her home county, Norfolk and the devastating flood of the 1950s. Her second novel, The Marsh House: set in the same austere seascape of the Norfolk coast, was published in November - it is about mothers, daughters and ghosts.
Zoë has worked as an English teacher all over the world. She completed a creative writing MA at Bath Spa University in 2016, she now combines writing and tutoring, and is settled in Bath with her family.
