Best recent book: I’m a geographer by trade, so I love books that have a view about people and their connection to landscape and place, and how the concept of memory weaves in out in framing how they interact and view their world. I have been engaging a lot with the work of Rebecca Solnit the last year and love her rich narrative piece called A Field Guide to Getting Lost.

Best recent film: I saw the film Sing Street recently, which took me by surprise in how much I enjoyed it.
