Audrey Magee: Reading The Bell Jar at 17 was immersive, thrilling and exhausting'
Briefly

My earliest reading memory In the Jungle, a book about counting animals.I was three or four.The colours were vivid, the animals exotic, and I read those pages thousands of times.My favourite book growing up Across the Barricades by Joan Lingard.Growing up in an Ireland riven by division, the story of love and kindness in Belfast between Catholic Kevin and Protestant Sadie was a balm for me.
