Prize winning short story writer Jessie Greengrass discusses her debut novel, Sight which deftly interweaves an intimate portrait of bereavement, pregnancy and motherhood with a history of some landmark medical advances. And more experimental fiction: Jeremy Gavron talks about creating a brand new original novel from classic texts and Danny Denton celebrates John Moriarty. And, marking 100 years of the Suffrage Act, Caitlin Davies explores the books that offered solace to the suffragettes when they were sent to Holloway Prison.
