On Open Book this week, Alex Clark talks to Francesca Kay about her novel The Long Room which is set in London in the 1980s, against the backdrop of the Cold War. Also on the programme - the power of two: Francesca Haig and Ann Morgan discuss twins in literature, in their own novels and beyond; an editor recommends a book from a rival publishing house, and as we begin a New Year, Open Book offers a new way to read a little every day.
