International bestselling authors, Jodi Picoult and Jojo Moyes are good friends, but have never met in person! Here they go head to head in a war of the words, from different sides of the world. They discuss their new books, the turmoil of writing in lockdown, escapism, open spaces, horses, being political through commercial fiction and how writers help other writers. Jodi and Jojo also recommend some books they have been reading and enjoying recently. In the Book Off, "The Invisible Life Of Addie LaRue" by V.E. Schwab goes up against "National Velvet" by Enid Bagnold, but which one will win? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
