Renowned British novelist Esther Freud is the great-granddaughter of Sigmund Freud, daughter of painter Lucien Freud and niece of British politician Clement Freud, but it was her mother who inspired her latest, captivating novel, I Couldn’t Love You More. Freud talks to Sarah Kanowski about the perils of family secrets, motherhood and love.
