Annual Book Review
On All Things Considered this week, Roy Jenkins presents our annual book review programme and takes a look at some books which just might make it into a Christmas stocking. The choices on offer contain plenty of opportunity to stretch minds, and tease out some strong emotions. There might even be the odd laugh or two along the way, and who knows what surprises our guests will have plucked from their own shelves to encourage us to savour?

The books discussed are:
Pope Francis: Untying the Knots by Paul Vallely.
The Breath of Night by Michael ArdittiΜύ

And our guests’ personal choices:
The Broken Road: From the Iron Gates to Mount Athos by Patrick Leigh Fermor
The Blunders of Our Governments by Anthony King andΜύ Ivor Crewe
