Chancellor of Oxford University, former Foreign Secretary and The Times columnist William Hague joins the novelist Clare Clark to share the books he would most like to be cast away with. From childhood favourites and novels to biographies and works of political thought, he reflects on the writing that has shaped his imagination, judgement and public life. Which books has he returned to again and again? Which authors have challenged, entertained or sustained him? And which single volume would he choose for solitude? Discover more about the reading habits, leadership, memory and private library of the man behind a remarkable public career.
