Mariella Frostrup talks to debut novelist Laura Barnett about her book The Versions of Us.

Mariella Frostrup talks to debut novelist Laura Barnett about her book The Versions of Us, which creates not one but three different stories for its characters.

In a summery programme, Mariella Frostrup talks to debut novelist Laura Barnett about her book, The Versions of Us which imagines three possible stories for its protagonists, Eva and Jim, and is expected to be a big holiday read. Chris White, fiction buyer at Waterstones discusses summer reading habits and recommends three titles to pack in our suitcases. Meanwhile Ayelet Gundar-Goshen sends a postcard from Tel Aviv revealing what people are reading on the beaches there. And finally a summer literary festival with a difference: Cathy Galvin and author David Almond on the Tablet Festival which will celebrate the Catholic imagination and writing.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
