How We Read (4x4)

:

Shahidha Bari takes the reins for this episode which celebrates the joy of books and asks whether the way we read is changing. In Leicester, Shahidha drops in on author Alex Wheatle and actress Sara Powell, who are in the process of turning one of Alex's novels into an audiobook. She also hears from impassioned authors about the enduring popularity of the printed page - writers whose lives were shaped by their local library and the world of books it contained.
