  • Summary

  • Presenter James Crawford speaks to the writer Susan Barker on Take Four Books this week about her new novel, Old Soul, and the three other works that have helped to shape its creation. Susan's new book, published by Penguin, is made up of seven testimonies that cross centuries and continents, but they have one thing in common - a beguiling woman, who is much older than she looks, and leaves a trail of death and disappearance in her wake. The books Susan chose for her episode were: Under The Skin by Michel Faber (2000); Ghostwritten by David Mitchell (1999); and Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood (1988).

    The supporting contributor was the writer and Strathclyde University Creative Writing lecturer, Rodge Glass.

    During the episode, a short clip of the audiobook version of Under The Skin is played. The publisher is Canongate Books Ltd.

    Producer: Dom Howell Editor: Gillian Wheelan This was a BBC Audio Scotland production
