Musa Okwonga & Sophie Heawood
A Caribbean crime novel, poems written on the streets of New York and a dark coming-of-age tale by Hilary Mantel are up for discussion with Harriett Gilbert.
Writers Musa Okwonga (One of Them, Striking Out) and Sophie Heawood (The Hungover Games) share their favourite books with Harriett Gilbert. Musa chooses The Bone Readers by Jacob Ross, a crime novel set in the Caribbean. Sophie picks Lunch Poems, a collection by Frank O'Hara written on the streets of New York and Harriett introduces them to An Experiment in Love by Hilary Mantel, written before her Booker-winning Wolf Hall trilogy.
