Download Rachel Brown-Finnis and Anna Bogutskaya
CRYING IN H MART by Michelle Zauner, chosen by Anna Bogutskaya
SKATING TO ANTARTICA by Jenni Diski, chosen by Harriett Gilbert
THINKING ON MY FEET by Kate Humble, chosen by Rachel Brown-Finnis
Critic, author and podcaster Anna Bogutskaya chooses musician Michelle Zauner's account of growing up as one of the few Asian-American children in Eugene, Oregon, Crying in H Mart, which details her complex relationship with her mother.
Former England goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis picks Kate Humble's book Thinking on My Feet. It's a book about travel, the outside world, and the act of putting one foot in front of another. Rachel came to it in lockdown and loved the opportunity to virtually go on so many walks with Kate.
Harriett's choice is Jenni Diski's account of a trip she took to the frozen south, but as ever with Diski it is a journey that is accompanied by reflections on the defining moments of her childhood and adult life, in Skating to Antarctica.
Presenter: Harriett Gilbert
Producer: Toby Field for BBC Audio Bristol
