On today’s podcast – Bernice Harrison talks to the half-Irish half-French author Moira Fowley-Doyle about her third novel for young adults, All The Bad Apples, which tells the stories of a line of women doomed to follow in their ancestor’s footsteps and have their lives turned upside-down at 17.

Later, Jennifer Ryan speaks to the British author Emma Jane Unsworth, whose hugely successful book about female friendships – Animals – has been adapted for the big screen and will be in cinemas here from tomorrow, Friday 9th August.
