Aminatta Forna talks to novelist Louise Dean about her new book The Old Romantic. As a new novel inspired by the Fritzl case in Austria is published, writer Rupert Thomson and critic Alex Clark talk to Aminatta about the fictionalisation of real crime. And if all you read are the books of Dan Brown, where do you turn when you have run out? John O'Farrell helps out an Open Book listener.

Producer: Sally Spurring.
