The Girl on the Train writer Paula Hawkins talks about her new novel Into the Water.

Literary magazine programme. Paula Hawkins, whose thriller The Girl on the Train has sold over fifteen million copies worldwide, talks about her new novel Into the Water.

Paula Hawkins' thriller The Girl On The Train smashed all kinds of literary records, and has sold nearly twenty million copies worldwide. She talks to Mariella Frostrup about following up such incredible success and writing her new book, Into The Water. 

I'd Die for You and Other Lost Stories is a collection of the last remaining unpublished short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The book's editor Anne Margaret Daniel joins Mariella to discuss the stories written during the latter years of his life. 

Novelist Richard T Kelly observes that although money is often at the centre of our lives, it's very rarely at the centre of fiction we read. And as Donald Trump celebrates his first 100 days in office, this month's guest editor recommends White Trash: The 400 Year Untold History of Class in America which looks at the roots of popular political opinion.

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