The Radio 2 Book Club - Kathleen Glasgow discusses ‘The Glass Girl’

Download Kathleen Glasgow discusses ‘The Glass Girl’

Our latest Radio 2 Book Club choice is 'The Glass Girl' by Kathleen Glasgow. It's officially a Young Adult book, but can be enjoyed by all readers (14+). It tells the story of Bella, a teenage girl on the brink, and the bumpy road back to recovery.

Kathleen joins Sara to talk about her inspirations for this novel, her writing processes and why she still loves journalling. They also talk about balancing humour with dark themes and why books like this are so important for teenagers today.

We hear an extract from the audiobook as well - and learn a bit too much about Sara's husband's spooning habits!
