This week's guest is Sophie Mackintosh, author of books including the Booker Prize-longlisted
The Water Cure, and new novel
Cursed Bread. Sophie talks to me about the optimum balance of social life and writing life; how playlists help her get into the worlds of her novels; and how she powers her work with 'little treats'.
