Susanna Hoffs and Nina Wadia
Nina Wadia is a well known face on British TV and film. She was part of the smash hit comedy Goodness Gracious Me and was a regular in EastEnders. Most recently she has been in The Outlaws. She's chosen a dark thriller set in Pakistan set in the world of courtesans and pimps. The Return of Faraz Ali by Aamina Ahmad. It's a disturbing read she says but a brilliant insight into a hidden world.
Susanna Hoffs wrote songs and was lead singer with The Bangles. She is still recording and playing music but has recently published her first novel This Bird Has Flown. Her choice of book on A Good Read is an English novel set in the 1950s - Small Pleasures by Clare Chambers - a strange tale of a mysterious apparent immaculate conception being investigated by a female journalist.
Harriett's choice is Blue Horses - a collection of poems by the late Mary Oliver. The verdict from all three - wonderful and life affirming.
