Five writers go on five reflective, restorative and often playful journeys in search of the final resting places of their literary heroes.
Today, Diana Souhami steps into the tomb of Radclyffe Hall in London’s Highgate Cemetery, where The Well of Loneliness author resides with her lover, her lover’s husband and their dog Tulip – an aptly unconventional set-up in death as in life.
