Alex Clark talks to Sunjeev Sahota about his new novel, The Spoiled Heart, and discusses 'dementia-friendly' books.

Alex Clark talks to Sunjeev Sahota about his new novel, The Spoiled Heart - an emotive mix of fiery union politics and tragic family secrets.

Plus two unique new books for people living with dementia. Alex discusses 'dementia-friendly' books with the authors: Matt Singleton, whose book Looking Back At The Beatles, is the first from his new publishing company, Cognitive Books, and published in collaboration with the Alzheimer's Society; and Sarah Lawrance, who has written Bewick Tales: Stories From The Life And Work Of Thomas Bewick, also from a new publishing initiative, Open Ended Books, from creative ageing charity Equal Arts.

And this month's Editors Pick. Zoe Yang, Commissioning Editor at Bonnier Books, looks ahead and shares her reading recommendation for June: Juli Min’s debut novel, Shanghailanders.

Producer: Emma Wallace
