Notwithstanding: Louis de Bernières in Ilkley

His latest book is Notwithstanding: Stories From An English Village, a nostalgically funny depiction of English village life that charms and moves in equal amounts.

In this programme, recorded at the 2010 Ilkley Literature Festival, you can hear him on stage at the Craiglands Hotel, and in conversation with the Yorkshire Post's Digital Editor David Behrens.
