Show Notes
This week we’re taking a look at some of the novels shortlisted for this year’s Booker Prize:
Maggie Shipstead considers the significant role played by women in the early history of aviation in her barnstorming novel 'Great Circle'.
Damon Galgut takes a wry look at life, death and the broken promise of post-Apartheid South Africa.
Nadifa Mohamed transports us back to 1950s Cardiff to re-examine a notorious miscarriage of justice.
And we return to Maggie Shipstead for the Books of Her Life.
