In conversation with Louisa Treger

Posted on 29 September 2026

Watching time 51 minutes

In our latest ‘In conversation with’ session, the Mishcon Academy welcomed historical novelist Louisa Treger, author of A Fatal Love.

In a thought-provoking discussion, Louisa explored the emotional impact of divorce, drawing on the story of Ruth Ellis, the lives of other women she has written about and her own experiences. She reflected on the challenges of starting again and how it is possible not only to rebuild a life, but ultimately to thrive.

The session offered a moving perspective on resilience and the enduring relevance of women’s stories from history. It had particular resonance for Mishcon, as we acted for Ruth Ellis’s family in securing her a conditional posthumous pardon in July, ahead of the book’s publication in August.
