Expert Witness: Cathryn Kemp & A Poisoner's Tale
About this episode
Was Giulia Tofana a murderer...or a saviour?
This is the question posed by Cathryn Kemp in her new historical fiction novel, A Poisoner's Tale - a retelling of the legend of Giulia and her poison, Aqua Tofana.
Cathryn kindly joined us to talk about her process for writing the book, the story of Giulia and the main players in her story, and her advice for aspiring writers.
A Poisoner's Tale is now available on hardback at all good independent and high street bookshops, and through Penguin.
