This year the Orange Prize for Fiction is celebrating its 10th year in association with Woman's Hour. To mark the occasion we're inviting you to vote for your favourite winner. Each of the Orange Prize judges will try in turn to persuade you that their winning novel deserves your vote.
Today, Polly Toynbee, columnist and broadcaster, and chair of the Orange Prize judging panel in 2000 makes a case for Linda Grant's When I Lived in Modern Times.
