It [Mother's Milk] was Booker listed last year, but mysteriously, in my
opinion, didn't make it to the shortlist. It is a fantastic, blackly funny
and inventive account of the growing pains of a middle-aged man." Mariella
Frostrup

Apart from being a multi-talented presenter and columnist ( see
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/presenters/mariella_frostrup.shtml ) and having
a very sexy voice, Mariella also likes a wee bit of Burnt Sugar from time to
time She discovered us at last year's Guardian Hay Festival where she kept
seeing Rory McGrath wandering around licking crumbs of Burnt Sugar's
delicious crumbly fudge from his lips. Not put off by this disturbing image
(only joking Rory, we love you really) she made a hasty dash to our stand to
try it for herself.

So when we asked her to choose this month's book - she was only too happy to
oblige.
