On today's episode of More Rosebud, we meet the bestselling writer and literary powerhouse Kate Mosse. Kate's historical novels have been global hits, and her much-loved classic Labyrinth is 20 next year. She talks to Gyles about her new book, The Map of Bones, the final novel in her series The Joubert Family Chronicles, which, it turns out, is set in a town in South Africa where Gyles once considered buying a house! But more than that, Gyles and Kate discuss Kate's first memories, her happy childhood growing up to loving and community-minded parents in a close family in West Sussex, where she still lives today. She tells Gyles about her first love, Greg, whom she later re-met on a train, and eventually married. She talks to Gyles about her love of being a granny, and how poleaxed she was by the sudden death of her mother. Thanks to Kate for this fascinating conversation. The Map of Bones by Kate Mosse is published on 10 Oct by Mantle (Pan Macmillan) and is available as a hardback, ebook and audio recording. Kate’s live one-woman stage show, Labyrinth, will be on tour in 2025. Dates and info can be found here: www.labyrinthlive2025.com Learn more about your ad choices.
