The desert island disc of books. Authors, writers and readers discuss the books that shaped them throughout their lives.
On this week's episode, I chat to Anne Griffin, author of When All Is Said. Anne came to writing later in life, publishing debut novel - a runway hit - in her 50s. I travelled to Anne's lovely home to chat about her childhood love of Bundy, mutual awe of Countess Marchiviez and the vital role of laughter in getting you through tragedy.
