Catherine Newman

Edi and Ash have been best friends for over 40 years, so when Edi
is diagnosed with cancer, Ash has to reshape her world around the
rhythm of Edi’s hospice care. This week’s Book Club novel is We
All Want Impossible Things, an extraordinary story of devotion
and sadness.


Author Catherine Newman joins Richard and Judy to talk about why
she writes so sensuously about food and the desire for good food
in the hospice. They also wonder why humour is such a powerful
survival method for people in difficult situations. Plus, we know
not to judge a book by its cover, but what about its title?
Catherine explains how her team came up with ‘We All Want
Impossible Things’.
