My Beautiful Millennial - Tamsin Grey

The Evening Standard
About this episode

My Beautiful Millennial is a story about a lonely yet predatory man and a vulnerable young woman who is trying to end their acquaintance. Trekking out across the Metropolitan Line from Aldgate to Amersham, Dido rehearses how she will leave Paul, the man who has taken her for dinner, to watch films, held her unwilling hand, back given her money, grabbed her jaw…

 

The eldest of five sisters, Tamsin Grey spent her early childhood in England, Scotland and Zambia. Her family settled in south London where Tamsin still lives. She has worked as a cucumber picker, a yoga teacher, an oral historian, and as speechwriter to a secretary of state. Tamsin is a civil servant and SHE’S NOT THERE is her first novel.  

 

 Underground: Tales for London features original short stories by London-loving authors from across the world. Each story, written by a Borough Press author, will be available to Evening Standard readers as a free podcast, from standard.co.uk
