BBC Radio 4 - A Good Read, Shaparak Khorsandi and Anne Hegerty

Comedian Shaparak Khorsandi and The Chase's Anne Hegerty pick their favourite books.

Disgrace by JM Coetzee, The Fountain Overflows by Rebecca West and Dear Reader by Cathy Rentzenbrink are this week's book choices. Presented by Harriett Gilbert.

Comedian and author Shaparak Khorsandi and Anne Hegerty AKA "The Governess" on the ITV quiz show 'The Chase' discuss their favourite books with Harriett Gilbert.  Shaparak's choice is about a university lecturer in South Africa who leaves his job after an affair with a student, 'Disgrace' by J.M. Coetzee.  Anne selects a story about a musical, bohemian family that in part reminds her of her own family, 'The Fountain Overflows' by Rebecca West.  Harriett picks 'Dear Reader' by Cathy Rentzenbrink, a memoir which serves as a love letter to literature.

Produced by Toby field for BBC Audio, Bristol
