Lorraine Kelly: Escape To Orkney

Beloved broadcaster Lorraine Kelly first visited Orkney in 1985 and has returned every year since then. Orkney is also the setting for her debut novel, The Island Swimmer. An instant Sunday Times bestseller, it’s a tale of facing the past, self-discovery, and the healing power of the sea. Today, Kelly joins us to discuss her first foray into fiction with Ian Rankin.
