Novelist Louise Doughty grew up knowing little about her Romani heritage.

But what she did learn as a writer in residence in the Czech Republic, inspired her to write her latest novel Fires In The Dark, which follows a Romani family's fortunes from the 1920s, through the Depression and into the Second World War.
Louise will be joining Jenni to talk about why it was such an important story for her to tell.
Fires in The Dark by Louise Doughty, Published 6 May 2003 by Simon & Schuster, ISBN: 0743220870
