David E Kelley, the brains behind Big Little Lies, has adapted Sarah Vaughan’s bestselling book Anatomy of a Scandal for Netflix as his latest project. The series is now available to watch on Netflix and features an all-star cast including Sienna Miller, Naomi Scott, Rupert Friend and Michelle Dockery.
It follows a charming Tory Cabinet minister and Old Etonian (Friend) who is married to his university sweetheart Sophie (Miller). His what seemed perfect life is ruined when he is accused of rape by a parliamentary aide (Scott) with whom he had been having an affair.
The series is based on the fictional book of the same name by Vaughan. Although the book is fictional, Vaughan was inspired by two real British news scandals. But who is Vaughan and what other books has she published? Here’s everything you need to know.
