The Radio 2 Book Club with Angie Thomas

Angie Thomas's novel is Concrete Rose, plus Victoria and Ian Hislop are the guest reviewers on the first Radio 2 Book Club of 2021.

Angie Thomas's novel Concrete Rose is the first choice of the Radio 2 Book Club for 2021 and Angie chats about it, plus there's the Factoids, Non-Stop Oldies and the latest entertainment and lifestyle news.
Private Eye editor Ian and award-winning author Victoria Hislop are guests on the Book Club, discussing what they've been reading recently, and there'll be some listener reviewers and non-fiction recommendations from the team.
Angie Thomas is a bestselling young adult author and her novel Concrete Rose is set in the fictional setting of Garden Heights, 17 years before the events of her first novel, The Hate U Give, and tells the story of Maverick Carter as a seventeen-year-old, who has to change his ways after discovering he has become a father.
The Hate U Give was a New York Times bestseller, which was adapted for the screen in 2018. Angie's second novel On The Come Up was a previous Radio 2 Book Club choice.
