Afternoon Play: Book Lovers

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Martyn Wade. When Gillian decides to set up a book club, the turnout is disappointing. Undeterred, the small group embarks on a series of novels. The exciting contents of books such as Madame Bovary make up for the drabness of their own lives. But then life begins to imitate art.
Director Cherry Cookson
