Unhappy families, wayward children and the heart’s disappointments weave an often-comic path through Deborah Moggach’s 19 novels. She is a journalist and a screenwriter too: having adapted Pride and Prejudice for the cinema, her novel These Foolish Things became The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Amanda Holloway talks to Deborah Moggach about telling stories, in print and on screen.
