As the news from France darkens, Lizzie has a secret she must hide from Diner. Read by Hattie Morahan and Carl Prekopp.

The news from France darkens, and Lizzie receives a French visitor - but the visitor has not come to talk of the Revolution.

Instead she is searching for Lizzie husband's Diner, and the whereabouts of his first wife's tombstone.

Based in Bristol in 1792, Helen Dunmore's novel is set against a backdrop of the French Revolution.

It touches on radical idealism, property speculation, political turmoil and private tragedy...
