Presenter James Crawford speaks to award鈥憌inning American author Elizabeth Strout - winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and a two鈥憈ime Booker Prize nominee - about her new book The Things We Never Say and its three key literary influences.
In Elizabeth's latest novel, we are taken to the New England coast, where we follow the life of history teacher Artie Dam, who is struggling to cope with the way the modern world is changing around him.
Elizabeth鈥檚 three influences are The Stories of William Trevor by William Trevor (1983), Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf (1925), and Middlemarch by George Eliot (1872).
