Today BBC Radio 4′s Woman’s Hour again considered what books you might read on holiday in their Summer Reading series. Today’s topic was Romantic Fiction. Alice Peterson, whose novel has beaten Fifty Shades of Grey from the Kindle Top Ten list, tells us her preferences, as does journalist, Tanya Grey. Classic romantic stories are discussed as well as modern.
Matthew Macfadeyn as Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Mr. Darcy, and Captain Wentworth appear in the conversation(as does Mr Rochester).
Ciaràn Hinds as Captain Wentworth in the BBC’s 1995 production of Persuasion
And the erotic nature of Persuasion is discussed…. tempted? Of course you are…Go here to listen to the very short- eight minutes long- feature.

Here I am, supposed to be working and you tempt me with that photo (you know which one!) Serves me right for having a quick scroll through facebook instead of getting on with work.
