British actor Indira Varma, known for appearances in “Game of Thrones”, “Obi Wan” and “Extrapolations”, will read the audiobook of Emma Forrest’s upcoming memoir.

Busy Being Free, scheduled for publication by W&N on 18th August 2022, is a memoir about what happens when your story doesn’t end the way you thought it would, the publisher says.

The synopsis explains: “When the dream life you have been working towards becomes something you must walk away from. When you swap a Hollywood marriage and a LA mansion for a little attic flat in North London shared only with your daughter. When, after a life guided by romantic obsession, you decide to turn your back not only on marriage, but all romantic and sexual attachments. When you find yourself not lonely, but elated – elated to be alone with yourself.”

Varma, who has also starred in numerous theatre productions and won the 2020 Olivier Award for Supporting Role for “Present Laughter” at The Old Vic, said: “After reading an early proof copy of Emma Forrest’s memoir I was keen to read the audiobook as I feel determined to do justice to its brilliance.”
