Michael Berkeley's guest this week is the writer and film producer Gillian Slovo, the South African-born daughter of the political activist Joe Slovo and the journalist Ruth First, who was murdered in 1982 for her involvement in the anti-apartheid movement. Gillian's books include crime novels and a moving account of her relationship with her parents, while her latest book, The Ice Road, is set in 1933 Leningrad. Shostakovich's Leningrad Symphony features among her musical passions.
