Merry Christmas everyone! Usually this time of year, you’d be in your childhood bedroom, re-reading the books that got you through primary school. This year, a lot of us can’t go home this Christmas, but there’s still every reason to revisit the books that made life better when you were nine. It might even make life better now? Caroline and occasional co-host Ella Risbridger talk about childhood reading habits, magazines, tough but beautiful Christmases, and why the Secret Garden is the greatest love triangle of all time.
We mention: Tom's Midnight Garden Charmed Life Miss Happiness & Miss Flower The Secret Garden Back Home the "My Story" books The Illustrated Mum The Suitcase Kid The Lottie Project Going Solo Danny The Champion of The World & more! 
Caroline and Ella both have books for younger people coming out next year! Pick up The Secret Detectives by Ella Risbridger and All Our Hidden Gifts by Caroline O'Donoghue. See you in 2021!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Real Housewives with Elizabeth Day

Author of Green Dot Madeleine Gray is here to talk about society's fascination with The Other Woman. From Anne Boleyn to Monica Lewinsky, from Camilla Parker Bowles to Glenn Close, we investigate why these women are so endlessly interesting to us and whether they are our key to decoding society's most shadowy figures. We're also very glad that Tracy Chapman exists.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mistresses with Madeleine Gray
