About the Podcast

Best Book Forward
A bit like desert island discs, but the book-ish version
Join book-obsessed Helen Gambarota, for chats with authors about their five favourite books, and make an almost impossible decision; if they could only pick one, which would they choose to read again?! If you've ever wondered which books have inspired or challenged your favourite authors, and shaped their own writing, this is the podcast for you.

Look out for bonus episodes with authors sharing readings from their own books (listener caution; you may find your own book collection mysteriously multiplying - proceed at your own risk!)
