Clare Balding Shares Favorite Books, New Novel Out

Clare Balding, a well-known broadcaster and author, has picked out some of her favorite books.

One book she loved as a child, "Black Beauty", made her think about how people treat animals.

She also recommends "After You’d Gone", which made her cry, and "A Woman of Substance", which inspired her to be independent.

She also enjoys "How To Be a Woman", finding it funny and relevant.

Then, she is also enjoying "Barnaby Rudge" and the book she is currently reading, "Here One Moment".

Balding's new book, "Pastures New", is out this week, and she'll be at bookshops.
