In this series Anna Macleod isin conversation with two guests each week about their favourite books, and also finds out more about their lives. 

In this episode Aideen O' Malley talks about the books she associates with her upbringing in Dublin, as well as the book that gave her a greater understanding of autism, a condition which affects her family. The Rev John D. Urquhart's childhood on the east coast of Harris was very different, and he discusses the very personal nature of one of his book choices and also how another book choice served to confirm to him the link between art and religion. 

As well as discussing their favourite books, each guest will have chosen one of these books for the other to read and we'll find out in the program whether they enjoyed it or not!
