Simon welcomes debut novelist Caroline Bond to the Radio 2 Book Club, to discuss Second Child and find out what our listener reviewers think of it.

Sarah and Phil love both their children. The couple have the same hopes and aspirations as any parent. But their expectations are shattered when they discover that their beloved Lauren has been born with a tiny genetic glitch that will shape her future, and theirs, irrevocably. Over time the family adapt and thrive. Then one day a blood test result changes everything. Lauren is not Phil's child. Suddenly, their precious family is on the brink of destruction. But the truth they face is far more complex than infidelity. It tests their capacity to love, each other and their children, and it challenges the very idea of what makes - and what breaks - a family.

We'll also unleash a brand new Confession and play some of your Oldie suggestions.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
