On this episode of Complicated Conversations we welcome Laura Dave, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me, to discuss her new novel, The Night We Lost Him, another riveting page-turner about estranged siblings who discover their father has been keeping a secret for more than fifty years, one that may have been fatal… We chat with Laura about defining her own genre of soulful suspense and family drama that you just can’t put down; her inspiration for the characters and the exploration of family connections; exploring themes of showing up for oneself, handling grief, love, loyalty, and the concept of being seen and understood by others; and the connection between Laura’s writing and her astrological sign. We also get some great musical inspiration from songs she listens to while writing.  The Night We Lost Him is out now and it is that rare genre-bending page-turner that exists in a category all its own!
