Vicky Pattison and Marianne Cronin

Known for her TV work, Vicky Pattison is also an author. She’s
written The Secret to Happy, a book to help young women in
particular quash their self-doubt. As well as exploring why they
think laughter is one of the keys to happiness, Vicky and Richard
compare notes on their I’m A Celebrity experiences.


Richard, Judy, and Vicky are also joined by this week’s Book Club
author, Marianne Cronin. Her debut novel, The One Hundred Years
of Lenni and Margot, tells the story of terminally ill 17 year
old Lenni’s friendship with 83 year old Margot. Living on a
hospital ward, the pair bond by painting their life stories.
Marianne agrees with Vicky that humour is particularly important
in difficult situations, and also shares her beliefs about the
afterlife.
