Forgotten Books episodes

  • Gora by Rabindranath Tagore

    One of the most layered works of Rabindranath Tagore. It's an insightful journey into Bengali society in the early 1900s. The characters are all wildly different form each other and yet they are bound together by friendship and genuine love. I absolutely adore this novel.

    A warm, delightful read about the experiences of a vet in a rural practice in Yorkshire. James Herriot has written this book with a lot of humour.

    My similar-book suggestion today, which you can hear at the end of the episode is a contemporary book of essays on animals which had originally appeared in The New Yorker.

  • One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kasey

    When people look at mental illness as a crime and patients are incarcerated in psychiatric hospitals, there's the need for a book like this which shows the indomitable spirit of human beings and how priceless true freedom is.

  • Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough

    Forgotten Book of the Day: Thorn Birds

    Author : Colleen McCullough

    Publisher : Harper Row

    First published : 1977

    Title Music : Sooraj Santhosh

    Thorn Birds is the story of three generations of women who are flawed, vulnerable, strong and determined. There's a deep love and also terrible tragedies that tears apart their lives. Set in Australia in the 1970s, this might seem slightly dated today, but it is a throwback to a different era and a different kind of life.

British Military Intelligence is hot on his trail. Faber ends up on a remote Sottish island, where Lucy and David are staying with their young son. These three people's lives come together in an explosive climax. Listen to this epidote and do drop a rating if you have enjoyed it.

    My weekly book recommendation of a similar book is the debut novel of a brilliant writer of espionage fiction. Check it out.

  • Mistral's Daughter by Judith Krantz

    The eventful lives of three women, a multigenerational saga of glamour, love and loss. We meet Maggy, Teddy and Fauve, and the man who plays a critical role in each of their lives - Julien Mistral. A sweeping tale that moves across Paris, New York, Felice and Rome in the twenties to the seventies.

    My book recommendation might seem far removed from the Forgotten Book of today, but I feel there's a huge similarity at the core of both books.

    Forgotten Book of the day : MIstral's Daughter by Judith Krantz. Publisher : Bantam Books. First edition :1983

  • The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery

    This episode of Forgotten Books features a book about two intensely private individuals who are drawn out of their shells by someone who actually sees them for who they are. Renee is the concierge of an exclusive apartment block in Paris, and Paloma is a 12 year old girl who stays with her parents in one of those apartments. 

    My book recommendation is the heartwarming story of Eleanor who will make her way into your mind.

  • The Omen by David Seltzer

    A confluence of bad omens herald the coming of the Anti Christ on earth. The Omen by David Seltzer is actually a novelisation of the movie, with a lot more details incorporated into it. It's a racy, terrifying read.

    My book recommendation for the day is another chilling thriller which is hands down the best one I have read.

  • Lust for Life by Irving Stone

    This is one of the best novels I have read. Irving Stone takes us into the tortured, brilliant mind of Vincent Van Gogh. Reading this will transform you and the way you look at the world around.

    My. book recommendation for the week is about a woman who made a name for herself in the tumultuous years of 19th Century France.
