Leonard and Marianne
2 August 2008

Leornard Cohen's muse when he turned from poetry to song-writing was a beautiful Norwegian woman immortalised in the song So Long, Marianne - this is their story, based on the award-winning programmes made for NRK by Kari Hesthamar.
"...both of the interviews had a dreamy quality and listening to the two voices of Leonard and Marianne all these years later made for a programme you want to hear again and again." BBC Radio 4 Pick of the Week 3.8.08
"...a melancholic and incredibly moving memoir." Tony Peters, Radio Times
Winner of the Sony Bronze Award (2009) in the features category.
