Diana Evans / Bell Green

Post by stuart »

Today BBC Radio 4 Book Club (15:30) featured Diana Evans on her novel "Ordinary People". It was originally named "Bell Green" where it was set. Diana lives in Sydenham. A fact I did not know. So one for my booklist if only for reference to the 176 bus ...

There is one point where one of the characters can't get home from the West End because of a problem with the Jubilee line to connect to the Overground down to Sydenham. Why he didn't just go to Charing Cross for the train to Lower Sydenham, thus making sure he didn't let down his small child, was a mystery to me.

Possibly knowing too much about the setting of a book spoils it slightly...
