Absolute joy to do the Backlisted podcast (***** in the Times) with Erica Wagner, John Mitchinson and Andy Miller. Book of choice was Antonia White’s Frost in May but lots of chat about the three sequel novels plus Antonia’s somewhat problematical life… Producer Nicky Birch does a truly amazing job with four talking Zoomers
