Charlotte Philby

Already a successful journalist, Charlotte Philby has just published her debut novel, the psychological thriller The Most Difficult Thing. It should come with a warning sticker: you won’t be able to put it down. I absolutely loved it and devoured it in one sitting. It’s set between London and Greece, and combines suspense with loads of family drama and a dash of glamour. We talk about this - as well as how she feels like her career has been a series of failures, the messy truth behind external “success”, and what it is like growing up when your grandfather is Kim Philby, one of the most significant double agents in modern history.
