Comedy writer Andrew Hunter Murray and writer, actress and filmmaker Alice Lowe and talk favourite books with presenter Harriett Gilbert.
Andrew's choice is Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day by Winifred Watson, a charmingly funny rags-to-riches tale first published in 1938. Alice's choice is The First Bad Man, the bizarre and hilarious debut novel by Miranda July. Harriett champions The Millstone, Margaret Drabble's 1965 novel about a young, unmarried academic who becomes pregnant after her first sexual experience.
