Field Ramble is back and we have two great interviews with Aidan Cottrell-Boyce and Niamh Mulvey.  Aidan tells us what lies behind his incredible novel The End of Nightwork an absolute favourite at Field. Then we catch up with Niamh to discuss her beautiful collection of short stories, Hearts and Bones,  published last year. If you've yet to read it, we'd echo Sinéad Gleeson's description of Niamh's work as panormaic, precise, stunning prose.

In the final episode of this series Sam and Spencer chat with  author Cynan Jones about his incredible novels The Dig, The Long Dry and Everything I Found on the Beach. Cynan conjures a deep sense of place and we delve into how he does it. The Dig is a big favourite in Field HQ, so if you're yet to read it, get it on the top of the pile.

We also chat with the wonderful Orla Fletcher about capturing her native Derry and the magnetic draw of childhood to the writer. We check in with Clive, one half of the brains behind the beaut  Voce Books in Birmingham for  a couple of recommends.  And the episode is drawn to a close by poet Elizaveta Guryeva.
