Ruth Wilson on the radio

Ruth will be in the third of three EM Forster Short Stories on Radio 4 in April.

Thursday 8 April 3.30-3.45pm BBC RADIO 4

The final story, The Obelisk, read on Thursday by Ruth Wilson, tells of how a chance encounter leads an unhappily married couple to find solace in forbidden ways.

Though best known for 20th-century classic novels including A Passage To India, Where Angels Fear To Tread and Howard's End, EM Forster was also a prolific writer of short stories. In them he explored many of the themes central to his novels, including the morals and mores of the middle classes in the early 20th century and his fascination with the Mediterranean.
