5. Trouble with Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon

In this episode Kate makes a serious confession, and we try to figure out if The Trouble With Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon is set in an avenue or a cul-de-sac. We also tackle the more important question of whether it made a good book club book. In our interview Kate is put through her paces on a windy Hampstead Heath chatting to Emily Rhodes about her Walking Book Club. We end with some recommendations for your next book club read. • Get in touch with us at thebookclubreview@gmail.com, follow us on Instagram @thebookclubreviewpod or leave us a comment on iTunes, we'd love to hear from you. • Books mentioned in this episode: The True Deceiver, Tove Jansson, West with the Night by Beryl Markham, All Passion Spent by Vita Sackville-West, The Living Mountain, Nan Shepherd, As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning by Laurie Lee, Someone at a Distance, Dorothy Whipple, Beware of Pity, Stefan Zweig, Brodecks Report, Philippe Claudel, Westwood, Stella Gibbons, The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton, If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things by Jon McGregor, To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee, The View from the Harbour, Elizabeth Taylor, Hot Milk, Deborah Levy, Breakfast with the Nikolides, Rumer Godden, The Summer Book, Tove Jansson • We recommend any branch of the Daunt bookshops, which can be found in Hampstead, Cheapside, Chelsea, Holland Park and Belsize Park. • For our next book club we will be reading and discussing The Prophets of Eternal Fjord by Kim Leine.

Om Podcasten

Discussion, debate, even a little dispute – expect it all on The Book Club Review. Every month hosts Kate and Laura bring you a new episode. That could be Book Club where we chat about the book read most recently by one of our book clubs. It could be Bookshelf, an episode dedicated to the books we’re reading outside of book club – the ones we get to pick and choose. Or it could be an interview with a book club, bookshop or book lover. Whatever the topic, every episode features lively and frank reviews and recommendations.
