For Episode 2, we’re off to Falmouth, Cornwall. The Wild West has been inspiring writers for 100s of years, from Du Maurier to DH Lawrence and it’s the home of our very special guest, Cathy Rentzenbrink. Many readers will be familiar with Cathy from her bestselling memoir, The Last Act Of Love and her beautiful book, A Manual For Heartache. So you might not associate Cathy with comedy – but she’s fiercely funny. Her books will make you cry, but her conversation will definitely make you laugh. Cathy also talks, openly and honestly, about how books saved her life…BOOKSCathy Rentzenbrink - The Last Act of LoveCathy Rentzenbrink - A Manual For HeartacheHilary Mantel - Giving Up the GhostJulian Barnes - Nothing to Be Frightened Of Barbara Trapido - Brother of the More Famous JackErica Jong - Fear of FlyingNancy Mitford - Pursuit of LoveDH Lawrence - Lady Chatterley's LoverDH Lawrence - Women in LoveDH Lawrence - The RainbowJane Austen - EmmaJane Austen - Mansfield ParkJane Austen - Pride and PrejudiceZadie Smith - Feel FreeJon Ronson - So You've Been Publicly ShamedCaroline Kepnes - YouJulian Barnes - Flaubert's ParrotJulian Barnes - A History of the World in 10 1/2 ChaptersMary Wesley - Not That Sort of GirlNora Ephron - HeartburnNora Ephron - Scribble ScribbleLM Montgomery - Emily of New MoonLM Montgomery - Anne of Green GablesLM Montgomery - Anne of the IslandLM Montgomery - Anne of AvonleaLM Montgomery - Complete JournalsSusan Coolidge - What Katy DidSusan Coolidge - CloverLucy Mangan - BookwormGeorgette Heyer - FredericaAlberto Manguel - History of ReadingBeryl E Escott - Heroines of SOEAgatha Christie - The ClocksWE Johns - BigglesJeff Kinney - Diary of a Wimpy KidAndy Griffiths - 13-Story TreehouseJohn Niven - Kill Your FriendsDavid Nicholls - One DayHelen Fielding - Bridget Jones's DiarySue Townsend - Secret Diary of Adrian MoleRyan Holiday - Daily StoicVarious - Assassin's CloakWilliam Boyd - Any Human Heart Rachel Joyce - The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold FryLouisa May Alcott - Little WomenJK Rowling - Harry Potter & the Order of the PhoenixTom Palmer - Armistice RunnerAJ Pearce - Dear Mrs BirdLissa Evans - Their Finest Hour and a Half See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
