As she prepares to buy her first house, Heather plans her colour scheme with a perfectionist's eye.

Hattie Morahan reads Hannah Silva's short story.

Hannah Silva is a poet, playwright and performer. Her solo show Schlock! splices Fifty Shades of Grey with a novel by Kathy Acker, celebrating 'the slipperiness of words, reinventing them so that none of them are safe' (The Guardian). Silva has been shortlisted for the Ted Hughes Award and has had three radio plays recognised in the Best Single Drama category at the BBC Audio Drama Awards.

Her debut sound poetry record 'Talk in a bit' was released in 2018. 'A Hint Of Heather' is her first short story for radio.
