Name: Catherine  

Reading: Good Morning, Midnight, Jean Rhys  

Why did you want to read this? I wanted to read Good Morning, Midnight because it has been my favourite book since I first read it, over ten years ago, aged 19. It’s hard to explain why something is your favourite book, like asking why you love someone, but I think the tragedy of the story appeals to me. I’m drawn to Sascha the downtrodden woman, roaming around Paris remembering the humiliations of her youth and railing against other people who seem to be able to keep it together in a way that she can’t.  

How did you record yourself? I recorded myself on my phone sitting at my desk in my room.
