Classic Serial: The Glittering Prizes

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

1/4. Frederic Raphael adapts his own novel following the fortunes of a group of students at Cambridge during the early 1950s. The common link between them is Adam Morris, whose ambivalence towards his Jewishness is reinforced as he makes new friends whose backgrounds are greatly different from his own, in particular Donald, his college room-mate.
(Repeated from Sunday)
