Melissa Harrison is an acclaimed nature writer, novelist and podcaster. She joins James Naughtie and a group of her readers to discuss her novel All Among the Barley, set in Suffolk in the mid 1930's. Centring on the experiences of teenage Edie Mather whose family have been farming the land for generations, the novel touches on the backdrop of shifting political and social change, as well as the dramatic change that's just starting in the English countryside.

James Naughtie and a group of readers talk to Australian author Liane Moriarty about her New York Times bestselling novel Big Little Lies. Set in the sunny world of Pirriwee Public Primary School in the beautiful North Shore area of Sydney, there’s a dark thread of hidden violence running under the surface of the novel. Liane Moriarty sets an unexpected murder against a wittily written chorus of gossipy and competitive school parents, effortlessly intertwining the darker undercurrents with a breezy and humorous style. The novel has since been adapted for television with an all-star cast including Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon and Meryl Streep.

You can send a written comment along with a picture of what you're doing while listening. Email a voicemail message to celticpodcast@gmail.com Kay Q emailed a photo: “Love the show. I'm usually listening while sewing, and lately sewing means making masks: for my family and for donating. Trying to get some Halloween ones done quickly to send off to the teachers at my kids' schools! Loved this week's show, especially enjoy hearing Daimh. Pic attached - and yes I sit right in front of the air conditioner: old house + no central air + brutal humidity = me melting! :D Cheers, Joel Smith commented on Patreon: "You never run out of great songs man. Listening in Montana. Best place in the world" Ken Katen emailed on Patreon: "Good afternoon, Marc - I”ve just upped my Patreon support of your Irish and Celtic Music podcast to $10/month. I remember bombing around the back roads of Joshua Tree listening to your paen to Joss Wheedon (it got me to give “Firefly” another chance - thank you). Now I’m [belatedly] listening to your Pride Month episode, and am once again impressed by your fearlessness to wade into an area that you feel is important enough to deserve your attention and representation while remaining unafraid to admit your ignorance (which, as Mark Twain observed, “can be fixed, unlike stupidity, which is permanent”) by selecting a great co-host both musically and (sub) culturally. I wish I could do more, but I’m supporting a raft of podcasts, and some folks in my real life neighborhood businesses who are also struggling right now. I can’t fly anymore thanks to radiation treatment a few years back, but your Celtic Invasion Vacations sound wonderful - perhaps one day I can figure out how to travel “across the pond” by boat and join you to enjoy the touring"

Put the chicken thighs in the tray, skin-side up, along with the remaining ingredients except the lemon zest and juice and parsley, and season. Roast the chicken for about 20 minutes, then remove it from the oven, mix everything around and turn the chicken over so it is skin-side down. Return to the oven for a further 20 minutes. If the chicken thighs need a bit more crisping up, place them under a hot grill for 4-5 minutes. Serve immediately with the lemon zest and juice, and a scattering of parsley.

Melissa Harrison's major new novel is ‘a work of rare magic’, in the words of Helen Macdonald (H is for Hawk). All Among the Barley introduces Edie Mather, 14 years old and living with her family at Wych Farm. The Great War is over, but its shadows linger. When glamorous outsider Constance FitzAllen visits from London, she brings with her new political and social ideas – some more dangerous than others. As harvest time approaches, Edie must decide whose version of reality she should trust.
