Description
Anita Rani is one of our best loved broadcasters and familiar to millions of TV viewers and radio listeners alike. The former Bradford Girls’ Grammar School pupil is best known for hosting BBC’s Woman’s Hour and as a presenter on popular television shows like Countryfile and The One Show.
Among her many talents, Bradford-born Rani – who was unveiled as the new University of Bradford Chancellor earlier this year – is also a bestselling writer, earning rave reviews for her heart-warming memoir, The Right Sort of Girl. She has followed this up with her debut novel, out this summer, which follows the story of Baby, a woman who seemingly has everything until the chance discovery of some love letters between her grandfather and another woman takes her on a journey of self-discovery.
