KATE: I know you never finally admit responsibility for anything. You just sit there, don't you? A little tin statue, a graven image, waiting for it all - sacrificial offerings - whatever they might be. A bit of steak and kidney, a devotional display, some wholemeal bread, garlands, a hole in one, a severed head, a first-born child...
DAVID: How is she?
KATE: Go and look at her - if you like.

But the nature of responsibility is overall more subtly distributed in this ironic study of marital breakdown.

(Judi Dench, who is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company presents Moonshine: 11.15 pm)

by RUTH PRAWER JHABVALA 'Elizabethhad gone to spend the afternoon with Margaret. They were both English, but Margaret was much older and they were also very different in character. But both were in love with India, and it was this fact that drew them together.'
In the third of seven readings related to the preceding Bookshelf programme, Jill Balcon reads one of the short stories of Mrs Jhabvala in which she depicts two Englishwomen trying, in their very different ways, to adapt themselves to the post-independente Indian scene.
