BBC Radio 4 - Book at Bedtime, Capital, Episode 7

Shahid faces up to interrogation, while Zbigniew comes face to face with Matya.

While Shahid Kamal is faced with police interrogation, Zbigniew comes face to face with Matya. Read by Rafe Spall.

While Shahid Kamal is faced with interrogation at Paddington Green Police Station, Zbigniew comes face to face with Matya at No 51 Pepys Road.

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.
