Look Back at the Year in Books

Available for over a year

On Open Book this week, as the year draws to a close Mariella Frostrup and her guests look back at some of literary trends of the last twelve months - from colouring books for grown ups to box set publishing - and try to predict what next year will have in store for book lovers. Also on the programme, we celebrate some of literature's grande dames, hearing from Diana Athill, Edna O'Brien, Anne Tyler, Judy Blume and Elizabeth Harrower, who have all published acclaimed works this year.
