Sneha Philip hit headlines in 2021 for this very reason; her husband reported her missing on 11th September, and he never saw her again. I hoped she’d find redemption which is the only reason I slogged through this book, but even that is minor. Very excited about this - my first drama podcast commission, Sharon Horgan and Merman's first audio drama, 3 years in the works and starting on BBC Sounds and Radio 4 at the end of May, with cast including Rosamund Pike, Hugh Laurie, Alfred Enoch, Kyle Soller and Isabella Sermon.

The stumbling block to their dreams turns out to be Drew’s mother who develops Parkinson’s disease and eventually needs full-time care. It’s a great listen – a rollercoaster of a story that keeps you hooked and wanting more until the end. Rosamund Pike said: “Daniella’s scripts knocked me sideways – like everything Sharon Horgan works on, the story is surprising, timely, funny and moving; it’s got it all really. The Financial Times and its journalism are subject to a self-regulation regime under the FT Editorial Code of Practice.In an audio format, it can be hard to know whether you want to stick around to hear what happens to the protagonist – but you can rest assured with Pike's captivating performance, which gives much-needed compassion and humanity to this complex character.

Listening to People Who Knew Me feels like a brain work-out, like an enigma code that needs cracking.Hooper reminds us that control is an illusion, that the past offers no pardons and the choices we make, in turn, make us. VERDICT While Emily's choices may seem selfish to some, the author does a great job of making them believable in this debut. is a stalwart of book narration (including the Wheel of Time series) and recently hosted the true crime-ish podcast Mother, Neighbor, Russian Spy.

Jumping between present-day California, and 9/11 New York City, the novel focuses on the decisions Emily makes after that fateful day. I wanted to adapt the book into something that played into the inherent confessional quality of the audio medium.Here’s a classy drama series: excellently soundscaped, grippingly plotted, smoothly acted and exec-produced by Sharon Horgan.

Hooper's debut novel poses the evocative question, have you ever thought about what it would be like to start your life over?

On her way to the airport, Emily Morris is leaving New York and everyone who knows her thinks she is dead. The first audio drama from the makers of Bad Sisters, People Who Knew Me is a 10-part series, written and directed by Daniella Isaacs, adapted from the book by Kim Hooper, starring Rosamund Pike (I Care A Lot, Gone Girl), Hugh Laurie (House, Avenue 5), Isabella Sermon (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), Kyle Soller (Andor, Poldark), Alfred Enoch (Harry Potter), Daniella Isaacs (Fleabag, Ladhood), and Jessica Darrow (Encanto).However, as she learns, such a selfish, desperate act rarely leaves the actor truly free, especially when there is a child involved. Now, in a way, people are voluntarily flocking back to being controlled, but in a different guise, by these wellness claims. I like the way the story alternates between two different time periods, with different issues and decisions to make. Kim Hooper has written a story that will make her readers think about some very essential things in life. Kim Hoopers novel is for women everywhere, those who make decisions to stay and face the consequences of their actions and those who decide to leave.
