Hello and welcome to Meet the Writers, I'm Georgina Godwin.
My guest today is one of Britain's most distinctive voices, a novelist,
columnist and cultural commentator whose humour and clarity have shaped the way we think about beauty,
taste and modern life.
Her latest book...
home, how to love it, live in it and find joy in it,
grew out of her phenomenally successful sub-stack and it's less an interior's manual than a manifesto
for living well,
whatever the size of your space or the state of your bank account.
India Knight, welcome to Meet the Writers.
Thank you very much.
It's a pleasure and honour to be here.
I have been longing to interview you for so long.
I've read your columns in the Sunday Times for years.
I've read your books.
When I first moved to this country, your book on the shops was what absolutely guided me.
I was a complete stranger.
He had known, knew nothing, and suddenly here was this book going, but if you need this, go there.
I love that book.
I love that book.
