James Runcie, author of the Grantchester Mysteries series, is a writer in search of the best way to tell a story. In this series he meets high profile authors to discuss the craft of novel writing. Using extracts from the author鈥檚 own work, as well as classic texts, the conversations will reveal the secrets of the storytelling craft.

In this episode James is joined by Booker Prize-winning novelist Anne Enright to discuss the role dialogue plays in storytelling. Through analysis of scenes from Pride and Prejudice and Anna Karenina, as well as Anne's own novels Actress and The Forgotten Waltz, they consider how silence, subtext and inarticulacy can play just as important a role as speech.
