Interview with Prue Leith on Her New Novel, Choral Society

October 27th, 2009 by Jani

The Choral SocietyPrue Leith

It comes as no surprise that one of the characters in Prue Leith’s latest novel, Choral Society, is a food ­writer. So, after all, is South African-born Leith, along with being a cook, restaurateur, businesswoman and television personality.

All these are public roles, while writing is notoriously private, something to be done alone. So when I met her in Durban on her publicity tour for Choral Society, I asked what took her from her public world to the private one of the fiction writer.
