The Tuesday Feature: Bottled Lightning

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Gillian Reeve
with Morag Hood as Alice James and Anna Massey as the Narrator
Alice James was the sister of William and Henry James and, though little known outside her family, she kept a journal which Henry saw after her death and described as 'magnificent... rare... wondrous', before ensuring that it was suppressed - rather like the family's treatment of Alice during her life.
