BBC Radio 2 - Simon Mayo Drivetime, Francesca Hornak, Maternity Choir Confession, Winter Surfing

Simon welcomes Francesca Hornak to the Book Club to talk families at Christmas.

Francesca Hornak's new novel Seven Days Of Us is our latest Book Club choice. We'll be talking family Christmas dramas and also be hearing from our listener reviewers.

Simon welcomes author Francesca Hornak to the Radio 2 Book Club to discuss Seven Days Of Us.

It's Christmas, and the Birch family is gathering for the first time in years.

Emma is elated at having everybody under one roof, but her oldest child, Olivia, is only home because she has nowhere else to go. She's just returned from treating an epidemic abroad and must stay in quarantine for a week - and so, too, should her family.

For the next seven days, no one can leave the house and no one can enter. It doesn't sound too hard. But a week with your nearest and dearest can feel like an eternity, especially when they're all harbouring secrets. One of whom is about to come knocking at their door...

We'll be discussing Francesca's new book and finding out what our listeners thought. 

Plus, in the spirit of Christmas we'll be starting two weeks of 'Christmas Confession', with your tales of festive folly! We'll also celebrate a new Book Club of the week, play some of your oldie suggestions and get the latest sport and travel from Matt Williams and Bobbie Pryor.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
