James Marriott and Jude Rogers
The Past by Tessa Hadley, Border Country by Raymond Williams and A Summer Without Men by Siri Hustvedt are this week's book choices. Presented by Harriett Gilbert.
Columnist at The Times James Marriott and arts journalist for The Guardian Jude Rogers discuss favourite books with Harriett Gilbert.
James picks The Past by Tessa Hadley, a contemporary novel about family, place and the modern world encroaching upon the old; Jude recommends Border Country by Raymond Williams, a semi-autobiographical story of a man returning home to his small village on the Welsh borders, and how it's changed over a century; and Harriett loves A Summer Without Men by Siri Hustvedt, about a woman re-examining her life in after her husband's rejection.
