Description

Welcome to episode 25 The Family Doctor, where we talk to the author Debra Oswald about what compelled her to write a novel about Domestic Violence, about the power of female friendships, why this story is not anti-male, and why fictional characters can engender such strong emotions in the reader. #thefamilydoctor @debraoswaldoz #allenandunwin #bookstagram
