Jojo Moyes has shared how her friend, the late author Sophie Kinsella, inspired her to finish her bestselling novel, Me Before You.
The romance book, which was adapted into a film starring Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin, went on to sell 14 million copies. It tells the story of Louisa Clark, who takes a job caring for Will Traynor, who was paralysed in an accident.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs, Moyes recalled how she tended to “lose confidence” in a novel after writing the first 20,000 words, and nearly gave up on Me Before You.
Kinsella, whose real name was Madeleine Sophie Wickham, died in December after being diagnosed with a form of aggressive brain cancer.
