Anna and Amanda discuss the Costa Book Awards shortlists - the category winners will be announced on 6 January.

Our book of the week is Big Sister, Little Sister, Red Sister by Jung Chang. This tells the story of the Soong sisters, who played a central role in China's history from 1911 to the Mao years.  It's been described as a 'fairy tale' but reads like an opera.  We can't wait to hear Jung Chang speak at Adelaide Writers' Week in March.

Coming up: Disappearing Earth by Julia Phillips.
