Open Book - 26/09/2010

Mariella Frostrup talks to writer Susan Hill about how she creates menace and fear in her new ghost story 'The Small Hand'. Novelists Alex Miller and Julie Orringer both have new books out set in Paris. They join Mariella to talk about outsiders living in the city and why they have put them at the centre of their latest novels. And as a new anthology of prose and poetry for reading aloud is published, novelist Joanna Trollope and editor of The Reader Magazine Angela MacMillan discuss the pleasure and power of reading out loud. Producer: Aasiya Lodhi.
