Mariella Frostrup presents the first of two programmes in which ten leading novelists nominate books they think have been unfairly neglected. In this edition William Boyd, Ruth Rendell, Colm Toibin, Hari Kunzru and Susan Hill unveil their choices. Once the final five authors have made their choices, listeners can vote for their favourite neglected classic, and the winning title will be dramatised on Radio 4.
