BBC Radio 4 - One to One, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown with Louis de Bernieres

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown talks to Louis de Bernieres about the impact of family breakdown.

Yasmin Alibhai-Brown explores the impact of family breakdown. She speaks to author Louis de Bernieres, patron of the charity Families Need Fathers.

For personal reasons, the journalist and broadcaster Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, has chosen to explore the impact of family breakdown for 'One to One'.

Yasmin divorced over twenty years ago, and - although happily re-married - often contemplates the fall-out of divorce, and the resulting emotional ripples which inevitably reach further than the separating couple. In these programmes she's hearing the stories of a grandparent, a parent and a young person who have all lived through a family break-up.


Last week Yasmin spoke to a grandmother who hasn't seen her granddaughter for four years, and this week she speaks to the author Louis de Bernieres. He talks from the position he holds as patron of the charity Families Need Fathers, but also from the very personal point of view of a father of two children, who has now separated from their mother. 

Producer: Karen Gregor.
