Previous Lunch - Eve Pollard in conversation with Rachel Johnson

The WoW Literary Lunch returned in 2010 with Eve Pollard in conversation with Rachel Johnson as she talked about her life and books, including her new book: Shire Hell.

3rd March 2010
 
Rachel Johnson has careers as both a journalist and author. After Oxford, where she read Mods and Greats and edited the University Magazine ‘Isis’, she was hired by the Financial Times and was the paper’s first female graduate trainee. After leaving the Financial Times, she moved to the BBC and subsequently launched her freelance career. Since then, she has written weekly columns for the Sunday Telegraph, the Financial Times, the Evening Standard, the Brussels-based Bulletin, and the Daily Telegraph amongst others, and has recently been appointed the editor of The Lady.
 
Rachel’s books include the bestselling Notting Hell (Penguin 2006), a novel about couples living in the Notting Hill area of London, Shire Hell (a follow up to Notting Hell), and The Mummy Diaries (Penguin 2004), a diary of her London-Exmoor year. Penguin has stated "Rachel Johnson's take on life as a so-called yummy mummy (whatever that is) in West London and on Exmoor has been entertaining her newspaper readers for the last couple of years: now they are seamlessly turned into a diary of her year."
