Why do we tell stories, and how are they crafted? In this series, we unpick the work of the writer on both page and screen.
Anna Spargo-Ryan’s debut novel, The Paper House (2016), is a layered articulation of loss and grief, perception and reality. It explores the nature of reality as felt and lived by protagonist Heather – not always what the other characters consider as real.
