By Helen Dunmore. 4 Extra Debut. Marion is used to the long-haul flight to Australia. But she can never get used to the airline food. Read by the author.

Written and read by Orange Prize-winning novelist Helen Dunmore at the Food Connections Festival in Bristol.

Marion is used to the long-haul flight to Australia. She makes the journey three times a year, to visit her son and his family, whose faces she pictures as she tells the kind and graceful flight attendant about them. But she can never get used to the airline food.
