Johny Pitts talks to Stephen Buoro about his book The Five Sorrowful Mysteries of Andy Africa. The debut novelist discusses drawing on religion, maths and coming-of-age narratives in his humorous and cerebral story of a teenager in contemporary Nigeria.

Debbie Hicks from The Reading Agency explains how their new initiative, Road to Reading, aims to help people get back into the habit of regularly spending time with a good book.

And Leonora Craig Cohen choses a new novel about strikes and sexual awakening in the 1980s as her Editors' Pick for next month.
