We need to talk about Carlo

BBC World Service - Outlook, We need to talk about Carlo

Donna discovers her ex fiancé’s secret life

When Donna met Carlo she instantly fell for him.  But there was one thing that bugged her: he'd never introduced her to his family or friends.

Donna discovers her ex fiancé’s secret life. When Donna met Carlo at an anti-war protest she immediately fell for him. They just had so much in common, particularly their left-wing politics.  When he moved into her flat she discovered they had all the same books - it was as if they were fated to be together. Donna couldn't  believe her luck! There was just one thing that bothered her - he'd never introduced her to his family or friends.

Donna McLean has written a book, it’s called Small Town Girl.
