Philippa Forrester and Dwayne Fields
Jenny Diski's memoir 'In Gratitude', Rachel Joyce's 'Miss Benson鈥檚 Beetle' and 'Love, Nina' by Nina Stibbe are the book choices of Harriett Gilbert's guests this week.
Presenter Philppa Forrester and explorer Dwayne Fields discuss their favourite books with Harriett Gilbert. Philippa's pick is a fun memoir about Nina Stibbe's experiences working as a Nanny in London, 'Love, Nina'. Dwayne chooses a novel about two ill-matched ladies on an adventure in the South Pacific, 'Miss Benson鈥檚 Beetle' by Rachel Joyce, and Harriett selects the late Jenny Diski's memoir 'In Gratitude' which was written whilst she received treatment for inoperable cancer.
