Behind the Bookshelves

What book do you recommend and why?  

‘A Little Life’ by Hanya Yanagihara
I read this last summer after someone recommended it to me. Here’s the synopsis from Good Reads: ‘It’s about four classmates who move to New York to make their way. Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, troubled by a childhood of trauma.”
I found this story moving and thought provoking, and it has stuck in my mind since!

 

What podcast do you recommend we listen to and why?

Modern Wisdom by Chris Williamson. A series of interesting topics and lessons about life, discussed by Chris and a range of guests from around the world. This podcast has taught me a lot in the past few years!

Where do you work/teach? 

I’m Alice Leslie in Primary School and I teach Year 5 students.
