  Wendy Perriam Wednesday 28 August 2002  
Wendy Perriam's new novel Tread Softly is a bittersweet comedy in which Wendy's heroine Lorna Pearson goes into hospital for a routine operation but ends up having to endure six weeks convalescence in an old people's home.

This is Wendy's fourteenth novel but it's the most biographical.
Wendy Perriam joins Jenni to talk about why she has now chosen to talk about her own experiences in her work.
