Join Lucy Scholes as she has a frank, funny and fascinating talk with Amanda Coe, author of three novels, and BAFTA award winning scriptwriter of Black Narcissus – for which she also wrote the introduction to the new Virago Modern Classics edition. Amanda talks about adapting novels for screen (like fancying someone on the first date) and explores the feminist texts that changed her life, from the profundity of The Golden Notebook (like making you wear a sanitary pad for 600 pages) to the levity of Heartburn (proving middle aged women do laugh).
