Today’s pick

Giant’s Bread

Radio 4, 3pm

Agatha Christie produced

an enormous amount of

work but perhaps the least

well known are the six

novels she wrote under the

name of Mary Westmacott.

Described by her daughter

Rosalind Hicks as

“bittersweet stories about

love”, they are arguably

more revealing works than

those in her own name,

and offer an insight into

Christie’s relationships

with her family. Malcolm

McKay’s dramatisation of

her 1930 book Giant’s Bread

follows Vernon Deyre

(Tom Glenister, above),

who experiences an epiphany

at a concert. Ben Dowell
