A Good Read: Bryony Gordon & Hollie McNish

Bryony Gordon & Hollie McNish

BBC Radio 4 - A Good Read, Bryony Gordon & Hollie McNishClose menu

Chess, drugs and dentistry - the two writers chat to Harriett about their favourite books.

Telegraph writer and podcaster Bryony Gordon is with poet and author Hollie McNish on this week's A Good Read. 

Bryony loves Rachel’s Holiday by her writing hero Marian Keyes; Hollie hoped the The Queen’s Gambit by Walter Tevis would improve her chess; and Harriett Gilbert finds both absurdity and pain in Reasons to be Cheerful by Nina Stibbe. 

Producer: Sarah Goodman
