My guest today is Matson Taylor, author of Richard and Judy Bookclub pick THE MISEDUCATION OF EVIE EPWORTH about a young woman coming of age in the late 60's in rural Yorkshire and the follow-up novel, set ten years later, ALL ABOUT EVIE where Evie is finding out what living in the London she has always dreamed of is really like- both books are published by Simon & Schuster.
Matson chats about:

• his work as a design historian at the V&A and how that fed into the Evie books
• writing through decades and writing funny stories about serious things
• the fact that his first book is set home county of Yorkshire
• the issues with writing dialect

how, though there is another Evie book planned, his next novel will be breaking away from the trilogy and heading to Rome
