In this episode of Tom’s Book Club, Charlotte Runcie discusses her sharp and darkly funny debut novel Bring the House Down, which is the Indie Book of the Month pick for April.

Set against the backdrop of the Edinburgh Fringe, the novel follows a notorious theatre critic whose scathing review sparks an unexpected and deeply personal act of revenge. As the story unfolds, what begins as a witty premise becomes a deeper exploration of criticism, power and grief.

In this conversation, Charlotte talks about the real-life inspiration behind the book, why it could only take place in Edinburgh and the pressures of putting creative work into the world.
