Love during a lockdown is at the centre of Sarah Hall's latest book Burntcoat. Monica Ali's new novel is called Love Marriage and looks at love across two cultures and different ideas about feminism, family and careers. Adam Mars-Jones' Box Hill is a darkly affecting love story between men set in 1975. The authors join Shahidha Bari for a conversation exploring writing about relationships.

Burntcoat by Sarah Hall and Box Hill by Adam Mars-Jones are both out now.
Monica Ali's novel Love Marriage is published in February 2022.
