The Book Alchemist with Heather Suttie and Dr Gillian Shirreffs

The Book Alchemist is a celebration of the magic of books and the joy of storytelling and Dr Gillian Shirreff's debut novel Brodie is the topic of conversation alongside the books which mean the most to her.

She shares her journey receiving an MS diagnosis and years later a devastating breast cancer diagnosis. Her gorgeous novel Brodie was a labour of love and celebration of Gillian's love of Muriel Spark.

The books and authors we discuss are:

• The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark
• The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde
• Why We Revolt by Victor Montori
• Bunburry Series by Helena Marchmont
• Miss Blaine's Prefect Series by Olga Wojtas
