Winter falls in Iceland and Ines' transformation has a dramatic conclusion.  Read by Penelope Wilton.

As Ines' petrification continues, she can now no longer speak and can barely make out Thorsteinn's form with her fading vision.

But another world is opening up to her - a world she finds both terrifying and compelling.

Penelope Wilton reads the powerful conclusion of AS Byatt's sensuous and ultimately uplifting account of one woman's transformation into stone.

Producer: Claudine Toutoungi
