Leading Norwegian author Vigdis Hjorth writes novels that are 'like major fires: destructive and difficult to contain', according to Literary Review. In her latest, If Only, she explores how an impulsive affair at an unremarkable conference descends into an inferno of jealousy, obsession, and an addiction that can never be sated. Today she joins Kirsty Logan to discuss the destructive potential of love when it binds the wrong people.
