In this episode of It's All Relative, host Eliza Filby interviews Ela Lee, lawyer-turned-author of the debut novel Jaded.
They dive into Ela’s journey of writing during lockdown, her transition from city lawyer to full-time novelist, and the powerful themes in her book. Ela opens up about the creation of the character Jade, the intersection of race, identity, and corporate life, and how Jaded reflects millennial struggles with work and self-worth.
This episode offers insight into the process behind creating one of the year's most anticipated novels.
On 13th March I’ll be doing an 'in conversation with' event with the incredible Ela Lee at Waterstones Islington to celebrate the paperback release of Ela’s debut, Jaded, a multi-faceted, darkly funny and relatable novel set against the cutthroat world of corporate law.
