I always find it hard to answer the question ‘What’s your novel about?’ in a way that makes it sound interesting. ‘It’s about the effects of the recession,’ I say, and watch as the person’s eyes glaze over. ‘Oh right, that sounds interesting,’ they invariably lie. ‘There’s a murder – and a kidnap!’ I desperately add, but it’s usually too late.
