"The BFI London Film Festival isn't just manna for movie lovers, it's a feast for bookworms too. Of course, literary adaptations are always a major feature of any festival line-up, but this year brings a striking range of them. From copper-bottomed classics ( Frankenstein, The Assistant ) to modern gems ( Hamnet, The Ballad of a Small Player ), there's something for every corner of BookTok."
"H is For Hawk Helen Macdonald's 2014 memoir comes with a shelf full of awards, including the Samuel Johnson Prize for best British non-fiction. Claire Foy steps into the author's shoes in a story of grief and goshawks that recount Helen's grief for her dad and relationship with the bird of prey who helped her through. Brendan Gleeson co-stars as her dad. 5.30pm, Sunday Oct 12, Royal Festival Hall"
