Alex Clark and Will Rycroft are joined in the studio by blogger Simon Savidge to discuss what makes the perfect summer read; we go around the world with Emma Cline, Milena Busquets, Yewande Omotoso and Ruth Ware as they explain why location was so important to their latest books; and Andrew Solomon explains why travel is more than just a leisure activity after 25 years traversing the globe. Make sure the first thing you pack this summer is the Vintage Podcast. https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/1108144/far-and-away/ https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/1109287/the-girls/ https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/1109295/this-too-shall-pass/ https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/1109235/the-woman-next-door/ https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/1099629/the-woman-in-cabin-10/
