Harriet Tyce: Courthouse to Bestsellers List, Charting New Territories

The Conversation with Nadine Matheson

Send us a Text Message.

Sunday Time Bestselling author Harriet Tyce joins me as we share our journeys from the legal world to the literary landscape, revealing the resilience required to embrace the vulnerabilities of writerhood. Whether it's transitioning from barrister to full-time parent, or confronting the fear of unveiling our innermost thoughts to readers, we dissect the emotional and professional pivot points that led us to where we are today. Her debut novel, Blood Orange was a Sunday Times bestseller and long listed for the Theakstons Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year 2020. Our discussion meanders through the cathartic process of writing that balances our sustained passions with life's unpredictable rhythm and Harriet's new novel, "A Lesson In Cruelty."
A Lesson in Cruelty
They say you can't always get what you want. But you can take it.
Anna wants a fresh start. She doesn't believe she deserves it, but after three years behind bars she has finally paid her dues. Most of them, anyway.
Lucy craves the attention of the only man she can't have, her alluring Oxford professor. He's married - not for the first time. Maybe she should be next in line?
Marie the recluse has been locked up for too long. She's not ready to be free, but some rules are meant to be broken.
Everyone wants a perfect life. But not everyone is prepared to take it.
Unless someone decides to teach them a lesson.
