People Who Knew Me

Product Information

There’s something thrilling about being privy to a character’s innermost secrets, their confessions and their selfish desires. So Emily takes a secretarial job at an advertising agency to pay the bills while he gains master chef status.

I had a few questions regarding tone – surely they wouldn’t be so blase about the body, even if they were drunk – but it was lovely to hear genuine south London accents, as well as listen to a drama that tackles the problems between men and women in an original way. Spoiler (but not much of one – you work this out within minutes): Connie is in fact Emily Morris, who used 9/11 to fake her own death and ran away from New York to California.The first audio drama from the makers of Bad Sisters, People Who Knew Me is a 10-part series, written and directed by Daniella Isaacs, adapted from the book by Kim Hooper, starring Rosamund Pike (I Care A Lot, Gone Girl), Hugh Laurie (House, Avenue 5), Isabella Sermon (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), Kyle Soller (Andor, Poldark), Alfred Enoch (Harry Potter), Daniella Isaacs (Fleabag, Ladhood), and Jessica Darrow (Encanto). The BBC's synopsis of the program reads as follows: "Emily Morris uses 9/11 to fake her own death and run away to start a new life in California as Connie Prynne. On the dedication page of her debut novel, Kim Hooper states, “I read somewhere that one of the most common fantasies is running away and starting a brand-new life.

In a simple but carefully thought style, author Kim Hooper constructs and delivers a story that feels real… I believe this is going to be one of the most talked books of the year.

And so the reader keeps moving through the pages of compelling storytelling, until there comes peace: for the reader, for Connie (and Emily), for some of the people who knew her, and for a universe that eventually permits it. When something threatens to disrupt their peaceful life Emily doesn't know if she's made the right choice all those years ago.

Emily still escaped the consequence of her actions and no cancer isn’t a get out of jail free card in regards to that, IMO. She must decide how to explain her lies, her secrets, her selfish decisions - and ultimately her 'widowed' husband. But she also leads us back through her memories of being Emily and tries to make sense of the past she’s tried so hard to forget and move on from.Today we've announced 3x GRAMMY and 6x Brit Award-winning international pop powerhouse Dua Lipa joins our podcast slate for Season 3 of her At Your Service Podcast.
