On her award-winning novel, Becoming Strangers

Each year The Betty Trask award is given to the best first novel in English written by a Commonwealth Citizen under the age of 36.  Today it will be awarded to Louise Dean for her book Becoming Strangers.

She explains to Jenni how she used her own experiences of romance and friendship in her novel, as well as drawing inspiration from her grandparents' very different attitudes towards marriage.

Becoming Strangers, published by Scribner, ISBN 0743239997
