Book at Bedtime - The Pleasure Seekers - Episode 6

Poet, journalist and dancer Tishani Doshi has a Welsh mother and a Gujarati father, and this twin inheritance is at the heart of her funny, lyrical and tenderly written first novel about four generations of the Patel-Joneses. On a perfectly ordinary day in September 1981, while the children are dressing up and playing at being Lady Di, Sian gets word from Wales - her father has died. When she goes back to Tan y Rhos for the funeral, Sian begins to realise just how much she has left behind. The reader is Indira Varma. Indira appeared recently in the 6 part BBC drama Luther. She previously played Suzie Costello in Torchwood. Abridged and directed by Nigel Lewis Producer: Kate McAll.
