#1  Episode 1 - The List of Suspicious Things by Jennie Godfrey

Jennie Godfrey's first published novel is a love letter to Yorkshire in the 1970s. It follows the story of Miv and Sharon who are trying to catch the Yorkshire Ripper, by making a list of suspicious things and people around their neighbourhood. Join me as I talk through the book, adding some of my thoughts and ideas along the way. Trigger warnings for this book: mental illness, suicide, domestic violence, prejudice, sexual abuse. This is an independent podcast and all views expressed are my own.
