A Good Read: Nina Sosanya and Joelle Taylor

Listen in app
Actor Nina Sosanya and prize winning poet and writer Joelle Taylor talk favourite books with Harriett.
Nina chooses Sally Jones and the False Rose by Jakob Wegelius, a children's novel with a mute gorilla engineer as its protagonist. The book appeals to Nina's love of engineering, and the city of Glasgow!
Joelle nominates Booker Prize winning The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida by Sri Lankan writer Shehan Karunatilaka, about a man killed in the Sri Lankan civil war, seeking answers in the afterlife.
Harriett's choice is Tasting Sunlight by Ewald Arenz, a novel set in the German countryside at the tail end of summer, featuring two women with mysterious back stories.
Two of the choices are novels in translation, which prompts a chat about whether translated books are becoming more common
Produced for BBC Audio Bristol by Sally Heaven
