Janey Godley and Mel Hudson

A Good Read

Available for over a year

Janey Godley's choice is a thriller Remember Me This Way by Sabine Durrant. It's a page turner with a neat twist and tackles coercive behaviour in an interesting way. And it features a dog called Howard. Janey says it has made her think differently about her own mother's relationship with a controlling man. Mayflies by Andrew O Hagan is Harriett's choice. It's an 80s tale of male friendship through music set in Ayrshire and Manchester and following two of the young men into adulthood. Mel Hudson chooses The Map & The Territory by Michel Houllebecq. To say it divides opinion is to put it mildly. Producer for BBC Audio in Bristol: Maggie Ayre
