Hattie Holden Edmonds: ‘The urge to find a passion is part of what makes us human’
The author talks to Annette Bette Kellow about W11, inspirations and her writing life.
 
Cinema Lumière shows a film of the main character’s life, Hannah, how did you come up with the book’s premise?

The idea came from a true story – of a woman who had a near-death experience, during which she was shown a full blown, 3D film of her life. I wondered what would happen if we could see a preview of this so-called Life Review, especially when we’ve messed things up pretty spectacularly, as in the case of Hannah. I am also a sucker for quirky cinemas, so I set it in a one-seated cinema, partly modeled on Studio 28, one of Paris’s oldest picture-houses.
