Chris Power talks to the author behind TV hit The Undoing, Jean Hanff Korelitz. Her latest book The Plot is an appropriately plot-driven thriller about a writer who steals a story from a student, but whose subsequent best-selling success is marred by fears that he will be exposed as a plagiarist.

Georgette Heyer published her first novel exactly 100 years ago, and would become best known as the prolific writer of widely adored romances set in the Regency era. Novelist Harriet Evans explains what she loves so much about her work.

Richard Beard refuses to judge a book by its cover, beginning his series on "the look of the book" by putting first appearances in the spotlight.

And the prize winning author of Gilead, Marilynne Robinson, choses A Book I'd Never Lend.
