Not even the weighted blanket could withstand his nocturnal stirrings... (with Scott Bryan)

We've made it to our eleventh book club edition (we think)! This time, we've been reading 'Interpreter of Maladies' by Jhumpa Lahiri. Was Jane won over by the short story form? (We're fairly confident you already know the answer to that!) Plus, the wonderful Laura Hackett, deputy literary editor and fiction editor across The Sunday Times and The Times, joins Jane and Fi to share her thoughts and expertise. 

Fi is back on Monday, but Jane is off on holiday for a week, meaning Eve is back in the hot seat. 

Thank you so much for all your enthusiasm, engagement and interaction. We hope you'll join us for the next one.
