Amrou Al-Kadhi & Peter Bazalgette
Writer and drag performer Amrou Al-Kadhi and television executive Peter Bazalgette talk to Harriett about favourite books. Topics include a macabre murder and a missing child.
Peter Bazalgette's choice is On Chapel Sands by Laura Cumming and Harriett goes for Lullaby by Leila Slimani. Amrou Al-Kadhi chooses Standard Deviation by Katherine Heiny, and a central character divides opinion. Is she intensely irritating or a gay icon to be celebrated?
