Anna and Amanda discuss how you can support your local bookstores during the COVID-19 shutdown - including Annie's store Mostly Books and ordering online via Hive in the UK.

Our book of the week is You Will Be Safe Here by Damian Barr, host of the fabulous Literary Salon  and The Big Scottish Book Club.  This is a novel set in South Africa during the Second Boer War and modern times, when Willem aged 16 is sent to a training camp to 'turn boys into men'. An Observer, Guardian and Financial Times book of the year and a BBC Radio 4 Book at Bedtime, we loved this one. 

Next week, Anna and Annie will be reading Weather by Jenny Offill.
