Helen Paris – Book Club writer discusses escaping the routine

This week’s guest is Helen Paris. She’s worked in performing arts, writing, performing and directing, for 2 decades, and has just published her debut novel, ‘The Lost Property’. It’s all about Dot, who strives to reunite lost property with their owners.

It all came from a spell of unusual research she undertook at the London Transport Lost Property Office, the characters she met there, and their poetic conversations.

We discuss memories, how the characters drove the story, and why she had to escape from her routine through lockdown.
