Eithne Shortall joins Jo for the latest edition of the Radio 2 Book Club, discussing her book Three Little Truths.

Martha used to be a force of nature: calm, collected, and in charge. But since moving her husband and two daughters to Dublin under sudden and mysterious circumstances, she can鈥檛 seem to find her footing. Robin was the 鈥渋t鈥� girl in school, destined for success. Now she鈥檚 back at her parents鈥� with her four-year-old son, vowing that her ne鈥檈r-do-well ex is out of the picture for good. Edie has everything she could want, apart from a baby, and the acceptance of her new neighbors. She longs to be one of the girls, and to figure out why her perfect husband seems to be avoiding their perfect future. Three women looking for a fresh start on idyllic Pine Road. Their friendship will change their lives, and reveal secrets they never imagined.

Eithne Shortall is the bestselling author of Grace After Henry and Love in Row 27. She studied journalism at Dublin City University and has lived in London, France and America - now living in her native Ireland. She is the arts correspondent for The Sunday Times Ireland and has worked as a TV and Radio presenter.

Plus there's another story of A Certain Romance and, as ever, Jo provides The Taxi Service.
