A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Khaled Hosseini, chosen by Abi Dare
THE FIRE NEXT TIME by James Baldwin, chosen by Harriett Gilbert
DEAR COMMITTEE MEMBERS by Julie Schumacher, chosen by Naomi Alderman

The Power author Naomi Alderman, and Nigerian writer Abi Dare discuss favourite books. Naomi chooses Dear Committee Members by Julie Schumacher, a series of hilarious letters written by a beleaguered academic. Abi champions A Thousand Splendid Suns, Khaled Hosseini's tale of two women in Taliban governed Afghanistan and Harriett recommends James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time, two immensely powerful essays.
