The former politician reflects on the books that have shaped him, from childhood classics like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Swallows and Amazons, to the life changing Testament of Youth. He also reflects on the role of memory and food in his writing, and offers some sage advice about the importance of living in the moment.
