3. A New World
Episode 3 of 3
Winter falls in Iceland and Ines' transformation has a dramatic conclusion. Read by Penelope Wilton.
As Ines' petrification continues, she can now no longer speak and can barely make out Thorsteinn's form with her fading vision.
But another world is opening up to her - a world she finds both terrifying and compelling.
AS Byatt's sensuous and ultimately uplifting account of one woman's transformation into stone.
Penelope Wilton concludes the powerful modern day gothic fable that muses on grief.
Producer: Claudine Toutoungi
Made for BBC 7 and first broadcast in December 2004
