  Secrets 23 Nov 2005  
When and how should you reveal a secret?

Everyone has a secret at some point in their lives and most of us will be told a secret and asked to keep it quiet.

As society allegedly becomes more “confessional”, are we far too willing to talk about matters that should be kept hidden?  Are we losing the ability to keep secrets? When is it appropriate to divulge a secret and how should it be done? Are there types of secret that should never be revealed?

Jenni Murray takes up the discussion with Eva Rice, whose new novel is called The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets, and Christine Northam, a counsellor with Relate. 

The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets by Eva Rice, published by Review - ISBN 0-7553-2550-8
