Catherine Raynes: It Could Have Been Her and Nothing To My Name
About this episode
Catherine Raynes discusses two compelling books, exploring themes of mystery and women's experiences across generations.
It Could Have Been Her by Lisa Jewell It was the night she almost died. Jane Trevally, newly divorced and feeling a little lost, agrees to accompany a man she doesn't know to his house in the darkest corner of Hampstead Heath. She's offered a drink, goes in, and then - a scream and the sound of something falling upstairs - and Jane senses she's in a bad place and in danger. She runs. Twenty-five years later, Jane finds herself outside the same house, this time to return a small white dog who's been found near her home in the country; a dog whose owner has just been reported missing. A fleeting glimpse of a haunted looking woman through the window sends Jane on a mission to uncover the house's secrets - secrets more terrifying than she could have ever imagined, especially when she realises it could have been her... A missing woman, a dysfunctional family and dark, dark secrets... Nothing To My Name by Kangkang Li Kovacs Inspired by the author’s own family history, and spanning the past hundred years of Chinese history, this multi-generational family saga explores how women survive the tsunamis of history  …
