Fictions: Friends and Enemies

 
Hay Festival 2024, 

When do friends become enemies? And how intertwined are love and murder? Authors Lisa Jewell and Alex Michaelides discuss these questions and more as they celebrate their latest books. Jewell’s None of This is True follows podcaster Alix Summers, who meets her birthday twin Josie at her local pub, and soon discovers that Josie has a story to tell. As Alix records Josie’s strange and complicated life for a podcast, Alix begins to uncover some deeply hidden secrets. In Michaelides’ The Fury, reclusive ex-movie star Lana Farrar invites a small group of her closest friends for a weekend away on her small private island. There, old friendships conceal violent passions and resentments, and in 48 hours, one of the party will be dead.
