Question of taste: Patricia Messenger

Patricia Messenger is the presenter of Cork Today radio show on C103. She is from Clonmel, Co Tipperary, but has been living in Cork since 1990.

Best recent book: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I was a bit late getting to this book as it was published in 1988.I read so many books for review on the programme I don’t get a lot of time to read books just for me.

Best recent film: Room. A well deserved Oscar for Brie Larson plus I loved the fact the movie adaptation of the book stayed loyal to the source.
