We couldn't be happier to be Shelf Isolating with this week's guest - author, journalist and all around book guru Sarra Manning! Sarra is one of our favourite people on the planet as well as a brilliant former guest who has impeccable book taste. We talked to her about foisting favourite books, rigorous rereading, investigating the aristocracy and there are many, many book recommendations.BOOKSDaisy Buchanan - SisterhoodSarra Manning - Rescue MeAnne de Courcy - Debs at WarAnne de Courcy - Viceroy’s daughtersNicolas Coleridge - Glossy YearsPG Wodehouse - Indiscretions of ArchieBarbara Pym - Jane and PrudenceDorothy Whipple - They Were SistersElizabeth Jane Howard - Cazalet ChroniclesEM Delafield - Diary of a Provincial LadySusie Steiner - Missing PresumedJane Casey - The BurningLouise Cavendish - Our HousePenny Vincenzi - No AngelRC Sherriff - Fortnight in SeptemberAngela Thirkell - Before LunchVictoria Wood - ChunkyKiley Reid - Such a Fun AgeCathy Rentzenbrink - Dear ReaderSara Davidson - Loose ChangeLisa Taddeo - Three WomenCathleen Schine - GrammariansVirginia Andrews - Flowers in the AtticJane Oliver - Business as UsualNoel Streatfeild - Ballet ShoesEva Ibbotson - Morning GiftEva Ibbotson - Secret CountessGeorgette Heyer - Regency BuckLM Montgomery - Blue CastleNoel Streatfeild - Vicarage FamilyArtemis Cooper - Elizabeth DavidHannah Tovey - Education of Ivy EdwardsSarra Manning - UnstickyMarian Keyes - Rachel's HolidayMarian Keyes - Grown UpsHolly Bourne - PretendingSarra Manning - You Don’t Have To Say you Love MeSarra Manning - Let’s Get LostSarra Manning - Rise and Fall of Becky Sharp See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
