Here's the interview:

https://sutcliff-space.dreamwidth.org/20900.html

She also talks in that one about how she thinks blood brothers are often homoerotic. I've wondered about a Broster influence on Sutcliff too. I'm very interested to hear there's a documented connection (that I can't access, sob.)

The incest in The Winter Prince is mostly subtext and implication, if that helps, and I think it's absent from the sequels. IIRC it's only super explicit in an adult short story, "No Human Hands to Touch". (Also fun trivia: the series is another one with an reference to Sutcliff.)
