The WAR Series: Writers as Readers, with Paula Daly
Submitted by Grace on May 8, 2014 - 8:36am
Paula Daly is the author of Keep Your Friends Close (Doubleday Canada). In the novel, Natty Wainwright's daughter collapses while travelling in France, sending Natty flying off to France to retrieve her. Natty leaves her best friend, Eve, at home with her husband, Sean, to hold down the fort. Imagine her surprise when she returns two weeks later to find that Sean, her devoted husband, has fallen in love with Eve. Natty is devastated, but her feelings become more complex when she receives a note advising that this is not Eve's first time snatching someone else's life... and that Natty's life may in fact be what is in danger. Paula joins us today on Open Book to tackle the WAR (Writers as Readers) series, where authors share with us about the books that have influenced and touched them throughout their lives. Paula talks about the book that got her hooked on suspense, the best time to read Russian novels and the book that would have saved her a lot of grief if she'd read it earlier.
