Listen "Kimberley Allsopp - "Rise And Shine""
Episode Synopsis
November’s @readingby.candlelight General Fiction Book Box featured the wonderful Kimberley Allsopp and her second novel, Rise and Shine.In our cosy half-hour chat, Kimberley and our host Fiona talk about: ✨ Why she started the book at the end of a marriage ✨ How a rejection of her first novel led her to write Rise and Shine at lightning speed to meet her deadline ✨ Whether her background in publishing influenced her process ✨ And what it’s really like being Trent Dalton’s publicist (yes — it’s as wonderful as you’d imagine!)Rise and Shine is a sharp, funny, and heartfelt exploration of relationships, dreams, and rediscovery. It’s a story about a marriage at a crossroads — perfect for readers who love flawed protagonists, messy love stories, and books that make you laugh, cry, and reflect in equal measure. Don't miss reading this book - you will adore August and Noah.
