BBC Radio 3

by Fay Weldon. Matt, an ageing scientist, is walled up in a concrete igloo in Antartica with his nubile young research assistant.
Nina. His wife Simone is on the warpath. With vegan toy-boy Andrew in tow, she is crossing continents to wreak her revenge. But
Matt's only concern is that all the most noble ideas of the 20-th century are being sucked out through a hole in the ozone layer.
