Melina Marchetta joins Jamila Rizvi and Astrid Edwards to discuss nostalgia and the act of returning to one's favourite books. 

• Introduction: How do authors transport us back in time, sometimes to a place we’ve never been? 
• Chapter 1: Melina Marchetta considers her own works and the reactions readers have to them, as well as the pull of fiction for lovers of words.
• Chapter 2: Bridget Jones’ Diary by Helen Fielding.
• Chapter 3: The Secret History by Donna Tart.
• Recommendations: Astrid recommends Puberty Blues by Kathy Lette and Hilary Mantel's trilogy Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodies and The Mirror and the Light.
