BBC Radio 4 - Book at Bedtime, Capital, Episode 10

The perpetrator sending the menacing postcards to Pepys Road is finally revealed.

The menacing postcard writer's identity is revealed and the Younts shut the door on No 51 for the last time. Read by Rafe Spall.

Identities are revealed - Smitty's, and the individual behind the menacing postcards as the Younts fill a removal van and shut the door on No 51 for the last time.

Capital - the new novel by John Lanchester - is the story of one south London street, which has seen a hundred years of fortunes made and lost, of hearts broken, of first steps and last breaths. And then, one day a card with a simple message drops through each letterbox: 'We Want What You Have'....

Capital interweaves the lives and stories of the residents of Pepys Road in an utterly compelling, post-crash, state-of-the-nation novel told with compassion, humour and truth; epic in scope, yet intimate and contemplative. 


Producer: David Roper
A Heavy Entertainment production for BBC Radio 4.
