On The Ninth Life of Louis Drax

An unsolved mystery from Liz Jensen's own family inspired her latest book. The Ninth Life of Louis Drax  unravels the events leading up to nine-year-old Louis’s fall from a cliff. He ends up in a coma in hospital where a doctor stumbles on to the truth about a series of accidents.

It's Liz's fifth novel, but it's the first to be turned into a film directed by Anthony Minghella. She talks to Jenni.

The Ninth Life of Louis Drax is published by Bloomsbury
