Synopsis

Mariella Frostrup presents the second of two programmes in which ten leading novelists nominate books they think have been unfairly neglected. In this edition, Dame Beryl Bainbridge, Howard Jacobson, Joanna Trollope, Michael Morpurgo and Val McDermid unveil their choices.

After the programme, listeners can vote for their favourite neglected classic of the ten; the winning title will be dramatised on Radio 4.
