I Want to Be Alone

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

1/5. Mrs Hope and Me. To mark the centenary of Greta Garbo 's birth, a series of stories about being alone, inspired by the statement attributed to the Swedish screen icon and famous recluse.
Today, Eleanor Bron reads Jenny Diski 's story about a writer who, looking for inspiration, escapes to a remote cottage. She revels in the isolation, but others grow concerned when she doesn't appear for three days. Producer Gemma Jenkins
