Novelist and screenwriter Emma Forrest: ‘Trump’s malignant presence wreaked romantic damage’

Novelist, director, and screenwriter Emma Forrest joins us to discuss how she redefined herself after her divorce - most notably, the period of celibacy she chose to take, which she blames on the election of Donald Trump.

Emma told Independent TV’s Olivia Petter: “You could see how much his wife didn’t want to be around him, and I swear to god that had a trickle down effect on relationships that were hanging in the balance that may otherwise have survived.”
