Today, Len talks to two writers: Andrew Meehan, whose new Dublin-set novel Best Friends is about finding love in later life and which has been compared to Sally Rooney’s hit Normal People, ‘but with pensioners’.

And Alice Vincent discusses her new novel, Hark. Alice had become overwhelmed by the sensory overload punctuating our every moment, and then she had a baby and the noise increased– both with a new child, but also with the societal pressures that motherhood brings. Hark asks if tuning into sounds more, paying attention, can help us live more fulfilled lives.
