Joan's Picks: Demon Copperhead and No Plan B

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin ·

2022/10/30

Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver. This is sublime. She shares some of the concerns which Charles Dickens had when he wrote David Copperfield – child poverty and exploitation, institutionalisation of kids – and she’s taken these themes and plonked them right into the middle of the Appalachians during the opioid crisis. It is just outstanding – as I said, my book of the year. No Plan B by Lee Child and Andre Child. Classic Child formula – Jack rolls into a small town in the middle of nowhere

This week marks the sad loss of my most favourite ice-cream. Goody goody gum drop! Yes it will still be available in rolling shops but the 2 litre has been removed from the shelves. So who invented GGGD? The flavour was apparently invented 25 years ago by Murray Taylor, Tip Tops technical general manager. The iconic bubblegum flavoured ice-cream with those Gumdrop candies make for a sweet treat. So this week I will show you all how to make a basic vanilla ice-cream without a churn. And then you

2022/10/30

In honour of Halloween, Dr Joel Rindelaub explained the spookiest science out there: quantum entanglement. Albert Einstein himself described this science as spooky, and recent work in this field helped three quantum physicists win the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics earlier this year. Dr Joel Rindelaub explained that quantum entanglement refers to the idea that we don't know the state of quantum particles until we measure them, and this impacts our understanding of reality.

I love rugby. Like many New Zealanders I grew up watching rugby on the telly. As a kid, it was the only time I was ‘shushed’ by my father. We would always gather as a family to watch an All Blacks test or a Ranfurly Shield game, but it was on the condition we watched it in silence – no chit chat allowed over the commentary – which back in the 70’s when I was little, was listened to on the radio while we watched the game on TV with the volume down. This gave the best viewing experience, apparently

2022/10/23

Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan. Yes, a dual effort for reasons which I will explain – this really is classic Jodi. Small town, ethical and moral dilemma, some court room drama - a young man is charged with the murder of his girlfriend, and at the trial it comes to light that not everything is as it seems. His mother is an apiarist, and there’s quite a lot of really interesting narrative about bees and beekeeping which keeps the story rocking along, and the characterisations are

Packing up and moving away to the south of France is a dream held by many, but author Anna Bibby actually got to live out that experience. A few years ago, Auckland art dealer Anna Bibby bought a rundown house in a small village while on holiday in France. What came next was a journey of renovation, a winter in a falling down house and a quick fire lesson in French language and culture. Anna Bibby detailed her story in a new book Learning to Be French (and failing) and called in from the south of
