By Hannah Reich for the Big Weekend of Books
Between war, the pandemic and climate emergency, the world is wild and uncertain at the moment. But in trying times, returning to a beloved book can provide a moment of distraction and reprieve.
Re-treading the well-worn steps of Pemberley or Hogwarts can feel like going home and being embraced by dear old friends, before being sat down in front of a wood fire, wrapped in a soft blanket and handed a large mug of hot chocolate.
But writers re-read all sorts of books, from classics to modern Australian poetry, for all sorts of reasons beyond pure comfort.
We asked some of the award-winning authors who are appearing at RN's Big Weekend of Books this weekend to share their re-reads of choice.
