Book Club Meets: Career pivots, true crime, and 70s nostalgia, with Jennie Godfrey
Manage episode 416120048 series 2095198
Would you choose uncertainty over unhappiness? Happy Place Book Club novel, The List of Suspicious Things, is the first book Jennie Godfrey has written. She was working in a corporate job before she had a moment of clarity and quit her job with no plan B to become a writer.
In this chat with Fearne, Jennie explains why, having suffered with anxiety, she took control and chose an uncertain future over an unhappy present, with a little help from an episode of Happy Place...!
The List of Suspicious Things centres around the murders of the Yorkshire Ripper. It sounds like a grim subject, but this story – told through the eyes of a young teenage girl – is incredibly warm and charming. Jennie also reveals her family’s own connection to Peter Sutcliffe, the man known at the time as the Yorkshire Ripper.
Plus, you’ve been sending your voice notes, reminiscing about the teenage culture of the 1970s.

...and don’t worry, there are no plot spoilers in this episode!
