She had to go off and be a grown-up first, getting a duff job while he played at his dream of being a chef. In addition to Pike, Laurie and Isaacs, the People Who Knew Me cast also includes Isabella Sermon (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), Kyle Soller ( Andor), Alfred Enoch ( Harry Potter) and Jessica Darrow ( Encanto). In every family (thank goodness) there’s a saintly child who takes on the burdens of caregiving but what if you’re the one married to that saint?

Daniella’s adaptation and direction, along with a brilliant cast led by Rosamund and Hugh, bring you right into the mind of Connie and her battle with truth and lies. I enjoyed reading the story very much and one of the main reasons I liked it is this refreshing approach. VERDICT While Emily’s choices may seem selfish to some, the author does a great job of making them believable in this debut. The thrilling and thought provoking 10-part audio drama podcast series will be available first on 23rd May 2023 on BBC Sounds.I'm Not A Monster series 2: The Shamima Begum Story was the most listened to BBC podcast across both All Ages and Under 35s in Q1 2023. People Who Knew Me – written and directed by Daniella Isaacs from the book by Kim Hooper – tells the story of Connie Prynne, a single mother to a teenage daughter, Claire. I was wishing Drew would wise up and kick her to the curb before she could totally devastate his heart. Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is lying when he claims that Russian air defense has never taken down its own aircraft, said Ukraine’s HUR military intelligence service spokesperson, Andriy Yusov, in an interview with Radio Svoboda on Jan. Kim Hooper has written a story that will make her readers think about some very essential things in life.

She will be forced to confront her past so that her daughter will not be left on her own if she does not survive. After much internal struggle with her conscience, Emily plans to tell Drew that she is leaving him to commit to Gabe. In addition to brilliant, curious, rigorous and impartial journalism from the production team, the series also uniquely harnessed the USPs of our live radio networks to drive podcast listening, and brought 5 Live and Radio 4 together in a joint release strategy. Kim Hooper's People Who Knew Me hooked me with its first sentence, and from there this excellent debut novel threw surprise after surprise my way. Connie starts chemotherapy and tries to ignore the advances of fellow patient, Paul, as she delves back to her past to try to figure out.Emily Morris (played by Pike) uses the devastating 9/11 tragedy as a chance to ditch her life in New York City and head to California. Kudos to Kim Hooper for having something to say, for saying it so poignantly, and for sharing it with the rest of us!

There's evidence to suggest that some people likely used the tragedy of 9/11 to fake their own deaths. Rosamund Pike leads the cast as our unreliable narrator - a woman so wrapped up in secrets and lies, it's hard to know at times if we can trust her or not.Adding to the provocative nature of the work is another defiance of stereotype, having the wife be the one resistant to the responsibilities of elder care. Episodes will be released on Tuesdays and Thursdays on BBC Sounds starting from 23rd May, with a full broadcast on BBC Radio 4 set to follow starting from Monday 26th June. Bolstered by her revelation to Paul, Connie takes Claire to the beach to tell her the truth about her Dad. And so the reader keeps moving through the pages of compelling storytelling, until there comes peace: for the reader, for Connie (and Emily), for some of the people who knew her, and for a universe that eventually permits it. She is also co-author of All the Love: Healing Your Heart and Finding Meaning After Pregnancy Loss (2021).
