This month we ‘re looking at another contemporary story for our master class: Dido‘s Lament by Tessa Hadley. As usual, spoilers follow and you ‘ll get the most benefit from this article if you read the story for yourself (see http://writ.rs/wmjun17), and I‘d also urge you to read a few more of Tessa Hadley‘s stories as well as they all have a lot to show us about how to create characters who are interesting and authentic.
