Adele Geras (20th March 2021)
from Chiltern Voice Book Club Hosted by Antonia Honeywell's Book Club
Adele Geras brings her alter ego Hope Adams to Book Club to talk about Dangerous Women, her new novel exploring the fascinating history of the Rajah quilt and the 1841 voyage of the convict ship upon which it was created. At least, that was the intention, but if a writer will hang out in Paris in the 1960s, start out as a star of the stage and write ninety five novels before changing her name and writing this one, there are bound to be some detours... Adele’s song choices are: Nanci Griffith: Gulf Coast Highway Waylon Jennings: Luckenbach Texas Edith Piaf: La Vie en Rose Judy Garland : Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Judy Garland: The Man that got away Emmy Lou Harris: Boulder to Birmingham The Eagles: Hotel California Bob Dylan: Don’t think twice it’s alright The Beatles: Yesterday Janis Joplin: Me and Bobby McGee Kate and Anna Mcgarrigle: Heart Like a Wheel From West Side Story: Gee Officer Krupke
