BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, Sheila McClennon

Sheila McClennon chooses her BBC Radio highlights.

On this week's Pick of the Week Sheila McClennon asks what Home means and what would you be willing to suffer in order to stay there? 
We hear about a family in Aleppo and from those forced to move after the Partition of India.
There are women behaving badly - Henry James's Daisy Miller, and unconventionally - fighting on the Soviet Front Line in World War Two. 
David Sedaris gets a sinking feeling in a New York lift, Ian McMillan explains why he's the Earliest of the Early Birds, and there are not only vampire bats - but zombie caterpillars as well. 

Produced in Salford by Cecile Wright.
