A Suitable Boy is Vikram Seth's epic love story set in India. Funny and tragic, with engaging, brilliantly observed characters, it is as close as you can get to Dickens for the twentieth century. The story unfolds through four middle class families: the Mehras, Kappoors, Khans, and Chatterjis. Lata Mehra, a university student, is under pressure from her mother to get married. But not to just anyone she happens to fall in love with.

The second volume of Sir Philip Pullman’s The Book of Dust sees Lyra, now 20 years old, and her daemon Pantalaimon, forced to navigate their relationship in a way they could never have imagined, and drawn into the complex and dangerous factions of a world that they had no idea existed. Pulled along on his own journey too is Malcolm: once a boy with a boat and a mission to save a baby from the flood, now a man with a strong sense of duty and a desire to do what is right.

Updated with Chapter Titles!
Thank you to the publisher for adding the chapter titles. It’s made the listening experience so much better, especially since I fully intend on returning to all of these stories. Yay!

Excellent, but give chapter info and sort typos
Great stories and performances, as you’d expect from BBC radio.
But please sort out typo in the associated info -‘Kristen’ Scott Thomas?
Also it’s difficult to navigate a 13 hour collection without knowing which chapters relate to which of the stories.
