Kelly talks with bestselling author Sophie Kinsella (Shopaholic series) about life after her 2022 brain cancer diagnosis. Sophie shares what it was like to edit a novel she couldn't remember writing, explains her nightly gratitude practice with her husband Henry, and describes how she's learned to focus on what truly matters. The conversation weaves through her writing process, her relationship with sleep, and her decision to turn her medical journey into fiction rather than memoir, all while bringing her characteristic wit to a candid discussion about healing. This series is sponsored by Coop Sleep Goods who make the Original Pillow and Comphy SpaSheets that Kelly (and her whole family) love.

New York resident and author, Flora Qian was born and raised in Shanghai but has lived in Singapore and Hong Kong, where her ancestors had lived, and in Washington D.C. before settling in New York. This cross cultural and multilingual experience influenced her debut novel, “South of the Yangtze.” At once a coming-of-age story and a meditation on language itself, South of the Yangtze is Flora Qian's award-winning debut novel that follows Yinan Qian, a girl growing up in Shanghai at the turn of the century. Set against China's rapidly changing political, economic, and social environment from the 1980s to current day, South of the Yangtze is a thoughtful reflection on both physical migration and migration between languages. Layered with history, it provides a moving portrait of China's only child generation and the meaning of identity. In an interview, Qian could discuss: WRITING: · South of the Yangtze is fiction but draws from Flora's life experiences. Did this make it easier or more difficult to find Yinan's “voice” while writing? · With language being such a central theme to South of the Yangtze, why did Flora choose to write the book in English? · The book frequently references Chinese words and history. How did Flora balance explanation for an audience that may not be well-versed in Chinese culture while remaining authentic to her vision? · Which books have influenced Flora the most as a writer? In South of the Yangtze, Dream of the Red Chamber has a special place for Yinan and her friend, Jie. What is its significance? CHINESE CULTURE & LANGUAGE: · Her experiences growing up in China during the only-child mandate, which lasted from 1979 to 2015. · Flora has lived in Shanghai and Hong Kong, as well as the United States. What were the major cultural differences? Did they inspire South of the Yangtze in any way? · Did Flora's experience living in Hong Kong during the protests of 2019 – 2020 influence South of the Yangtze? · What it was like to witness enormous socioeconomic shifts in China through her childhood and into her adulthood. · One of the book's main themes is how language shapes thought. With Chinese being one of the oldest living languages, is it especially poised to do so? Why did Flora choose to write the book in English? · Given how rapid the changes to China were following the Cultural Revolution, how does South of the Yangtze preserve a specific and unique moment in China's history? · There are frequent references to Chinese folktales in the novel. How do they play a role in Flora's writing life? · One of the early relationships the protagonist has in South of the Yangtze is with her Mandarin-speaking teacher, who was also an activist in the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest. What is the significance of this character and their relationship? · Migration is one of the central themes in South of the Yangtze. Yinan is an emigrant (from China) and Simon is a first-generation Chinese American. They seem to share a special connection. How does Flora's experience of being an emigrant inform the novel? Sherylbass999@gmail.com or sheryl@mckinneymediagroup.com FLORA QIAN was born and raised in Shanghai. She received a bachelor's degree in English from Fudan University in 2005. After graduation, she worked briefly in the publishing industry in Shanghai, where she was as an editor and an interpreter. In 2007, Flora moved to Hong Kong for a master's degree in Translation at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. During that time, she translated Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic and Sister into Chinese, which was published in 2009. Afterward, she worked in the financial sector in Hong Kong for six years.

#1 bestselling author Sophie Kinsella joins Zibby to discuss WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?, an extraordinary, unforgettable novel about a successful novelist who faces a devastating diagnosis and must learn to live and love anew—a story that is rooted in Sophie's own battle with brain cancer and ensuing memory issues. Sophie opens up about her journey and shares how this book came to be—it involves slowly dictating notes into her phone when she couldn't even write. She talks about fiction as her safe space, her use of humor in the story, the support she's received from her husband and children, and her personal realization that the little, everyday moments in life are the ones that matter.

Dr Hilary Cass, now Baroness Cass, led a four year review into children's gender identity services in England. Her final report concluded that children had been let down by a lack of research and "remarkably weak" evidence on medical interventions, and called for gender services for young people to match the standards of other NHS care. In an exclusive interview Nuala McGovern gets Dr Hilary Cass's reflections six months on from releasing her landmark report.A Tupperware of Ashes is a play which follows an ambitious Michelin-Star chef, Queenie, played by Meera Syal. It's a family drama about life, immigration and the Indian spiritual cycle of death and rebirth written by playwright Tanika Gupta. Both women joined Anita Rani to talk about the play which is currently on at the National Theatre.Mums say that the UK's system for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) is broken. An opinion poll from Opinium commissioned by Woman's Hour for a programme on SEND last month revealed that only half of mothers believe their child with SEND is well supported in school, and those in Scotland are the least likely to feel this way. Krupa Padhy takes a look at what is going on behind the scenes with Julie Allan, Professor of Equity and Inclusion at the University of Birmingham; Bev Alderson, National Executive Member of the teaching union NASUWT and Jo Van Herwegen. Professor of Developmental Psychology and Education at University College London.Bestselling author Sophie Kinsella, known for the hugely popular Shopaholic series and many other bestsellers, talks to Nuala about her latest novel, What Does It Feel Like? It is her most autobiographical yet and tells the story of a novelist who wakes up in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there and learns she's had surgery to remove a large tumour growing in her brain. She must re-learn how to walk, talk, and write. Six months ago, Sophie shared with her readers on social media that in 2022, she had been diagnosed with glioblastoma, a type of aggressive brain cancer. It is known for its poor prognosis with only 25% of people surviving more than one year, and only 5% survive more than five years.A new report from the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, BPAS, looks into what women want from contraception, the innovations in non-hormonal contraception, and the contraceptive options available to men. Anita was joined by CEO of BPAS Heidi Stewart and 28-year-old Charlotte whose contraceptive pill gave her severe migraines for more than two years before the connection was made.The Northumbrian electro-folk musician Frankie Archer has performed at Glastonbury and The BBC Proms, been featured on ‘Later... With Jools Holland', and named as One To Watch!

Frankie joined Nuala to talk about womanhood, tradfolk and to perform her current single, Elsie Marley.Presenter: Krupa Padhy Producer: Annette Wells Editor: Rebecca Myatt
If you remember the #butnotmaternity campaign during the Covid-19 pandemic you'll recall that women were sometimes left to give birth without their partners. Those restrictions for maternity care were left in place far too long affecting the mental health of mothers and staff. That's according to evidence given to the Covid-19 inquiry which this week is looking at the subject in detail. The inquiry has been listening to the impact on women from 13 pregnancy, baby and parent organisations. We hear from our correspondent who has been following it, Jim Reid, and from Jenny Ward, the CEO of the Lullaby Trust, who gave evidence on behalf of all the organisations. And we talk to Daisie Lane who tells us of her own experience and her book chronicling 150 other women's experiences.Bestselling author Sophie Kinsella, known for the hugely popular Shopaholic series and many other bestsellers, has sold over 45 million books which have been translated into more than 40 languages. Her latest novel, What Does It Feel Like?, is her most autobiographical yet. It tells the story of a novelist who wakes up in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there and learns she's had surgery to remove a large tumour growing in her brain. She must re-learn how to walk, talk, and write again. Six months ago, Sophie shared with her readers on social media that in 2022, she had been diagnosed with glioblastoma, a type of aggressive brain cancer. It's known for its poor prognosis with only 25% of people surviving more than one year, and only 5% survive more than five years.A murder investigation has been launched after the body of a 22-year-old woman was found in south Belfast. Mary Ward is the fourth woman to be murdered in the space of six weeks in Northern Ireland. The Police Service of Northern Ireland - or PSNI - have referred the case to the office of the Police Ombudsman. Earlier this year, the PSNI released figures showing that in the five years between 2019 and 2024, 30 women and girls across Northern Ireland were killed by men. To put that into context, the population of Northern Ireland is around 1.9 million. We hear from Alison Morris - the Crime Reporter for the Belfast Telegraph.Woman's Hour is joined by the winner of the BBC Green Sport Award, the rower Imogen Grant. Campaigning for cleaner rivers, being vegan and buying fewer clothes are all things Imogen does to protect the environment. She also talks about winning gold at Paris 2024.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey
On this week's episode of You Are What You Read, we are joined by beloved wife, mother, friend and bestselling author of the Shopaholic series, Sophie Kinsella, for a conversation about her most personal books yet, What Does It Feel Like? At the end of 2022, Sophie was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a form of aggressive brain cancer, and being the masterful writer she is, Sophie turned her own life into a narrative. In What Does It Feel Like?, we meet Eve, a successful novelist who wakes up one day in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. Her husband, never far from her side, explains that she has had an operation to remove the large, malignant tumor growing in her brain. What follows is an unforgettable story about learning to live and love anew. We'd like to thank our sponsor, Book of the Month.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR. DON'T BOTHER WATCHING THIS DRAMA. Judy and Linda are dumbfounded by "Miss Night and Day" (낮과 밤이 다른 그녀), the JTBC drama starring Jung EunJi, Lee JungEun and Choi JinHyuk. Since we have decided to abandon this nonsensical show, we will instead be starting "Lovely Runner" (선재 업고 튀어), starring Byeon WooSeok and Kim HyeYoon. Digressions: 1:09 - Listener E-mails! 10:29 - Linda has started "Lovely Runner" (선재 업고 튀어) and is now hooked! 12:34 - Judy watched "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" in the theatres and enjoyed it very much. 15:40 - We've misled you! "Road to Avonlea" is not all free on GazeboTV after all, sadly. There are still some free episodes, so you can still check those out! 16:47 - Judy finally finished watching "Fallout" on Amazon Prime, starring Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins and Aaron Moten. It was a stylish adaptation of a beloved video game series, and you should check it out. Apparently Judy is on an apocalypse kick. 20:21 - Judy and Linda finished watching the third season of "Bridgerton" and it was predictably boring. Who cares anymore about this conflict, you guys. 23:57 - Judy picked up Sophie Kinsella's "The Burnout" on a whim in a physical bookstore! Even if you're not a fan of the "Confessions of a Shopaholic" series, this is a nice light read.

Jenny Wheeler: We're thrilled to have you on this Valentine's Week, and as I've mentioned in the intro, you do live in New Zealand in Hawkes Bay in a beautiful area, but you write international bestsellers set in many other parts of the world. Tell us how you got into this right at the beginning. Kate O'Keeffe: Got into writing you mean?. Jenny Wheeler: Yes, the writing. Kate O'Keeffe: Well, I have always been a voracious reader, and I imagine most writers will say that ever since I was a little girl. I grew up in a family with a father who was a business professor and published many books 20 plus books. So I was always around the possibility that I could do it. Of course, what I write is extraordinarily different from business books,., the other end of the spectrum as it were. I'd studied literature at university and I was a bit of a literary snob. In fact, I wouldn't read anything that wasn't a prize winner or a literary classic. and then one day a friend of mine handed me Bridget Jones' Diary and I read that and absolutely loved it. 'Gosh' I can read for enjoyment! And I had this epiphany where I thought, gosh, I can read for enjoyment instead of just bettering myself and reading the classics to make sure I've read all the classics.
We learned a new genre, work fiction, and so now here we are. This episode the characters in our books have a job that is carrying the story, or at least as a very centralized part in the plot. Kristia's main character works in Hell, literally. The coffee machine is always broken, and none of first five pens you try will work. While Rachael's character is a high powered lawyer who snaps a bit and takes a job as a maid. The only issue here is she doesn't know how to clean, or cook, or any of the basic skills one would need to work as a maid.

During this episode, we take a trip down memory lane and revisit a favorite from our youth: Sophie Kinsella's ‘Remember Me?' This re-read was an experiment for us to see if we would have the same experience reading a book now in our 20s compared to when we were pre-teens. Needless to say, there were some major and unexpected differences that cropped up! After breaking it all down, we realise that certain aspects of the story seem to have lost their magic. Is it the price we must pay as we grow up and realise that reality doesn't always live up to our fictional ideals? Are early-2000s chick-lits simply outdated in this day and age? Are the characters really at fault, or were things just different back then? As it turns out, reading an old favorite with a newly turned critical eye unleashes a plethora of questions, comments, and judgement – and we leave no stone unturned in our discussion!

Time to talk about romance! As hopeless romantics, romance fiction is a guilty pleasure of ours, and in this episode we discuss some of our all-time favorite romance authors and reads (i.e. Nicholas Sparks, Sophie Kinsella, etc.). We spend the bulk of our conversation analyzing two common romance book tropes: miscommunication and enemies to lovers. One we can't stand, and the other we can't get enough of.

Maas The Body Says No by Gabor Maté All Our Hidden Gifts by Caroline O'Donoghue Belle by Lesley Pearse The Promise by Lesley Pearse The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella Can You Keep A Secret? by Sophie Kinsella P.S.

EMILY HAS SWORN OFF LOVE. BUT MAYBE IT'S TIME TO GET BACK IN THE SADDLE.... Emily Wilkinson has lost everything. Literally. In a hair-straightener fire. Oh, and her boyfriend (and boss) has announced he's going back to his wife. So, she needs a new job, a new plan, and somewhere to live that isn't her childhood bedroom. Charles Hunter is looking for a live-in PA to help run Bowford Manor and Emily thinks she's the perfect fit. Well, she's spent ten years propping up demanding men, so she can definitely handle some tricky characters—like Charles's eldest son and heir, who's got plans for the estate that might raise a few eyebrows. No one's mentioned Jamie though. The stable hand—and youngest Hunter. Dashing, of course, but totally unsuitable. And Emily's not about to make that mistake again. Definitely not. No, really. A hugely uplifting and totally irresistible romantic comedy that will make you snort with laughter. If you love Sophie Kinsella, Mhairi McFarlane and Sophie Ranald, you don't want to miss this.

Disclaimer: You may want to plug in your earphones for this one–it's a bit spicy. In our second episode, Emma and Monica attempt to defrost the long, cold nights of winter with a conversation about sex in fiction. After a spirited game of two truths and a lie, we discuss our bedside reads of the year, from Sally Rooney's new take on steamy millennial malaise in Beautiful World, Where Are You to Tia Williams's Seven Nights in June, by way of Bridget Jones, Anne Boleyn, Jane Eyre, Jilly Cooper, Emma's mom Colleen Flood, and more (see notes below). We talk about how books that *go there* have enlightened and entertained us over the years, read out some passages we love, and argue in favour of reading across the brows.Thank you for listening!
