Bestselling author Sarah Vaughan joins David Headley on Confessions of a Book Collector to discuss power, privilege, politics, morally difficult characters and the emotional truths hidden beneath public lives.

From her years as a political journalist during the Blair era to the explosive success of Anatomy of a Scandal and its Netflix adaptation, Sarah reflects on the strange timing that turned the novel into a cultural phenomenon.

David and Sarah also explore why “nice” characters rarely make compelling fiction, the books that shaped her as a reader and writer and why she’s fascinated by characters under pressure.
