Anna is joined by Emily St John Mandel, author of novels including Station Eleven, The Glass Hotel and Sea of Tranquility. Emily chose Susan Cooper’s The Dark is Rising although as she hasn’t revisited it as an adult this is a wonderfully free-ranging conversation about the perils of revisiting old favourites, experience magic through the eyes of a child and how to get divorced on Wikipedia.
