Having a bad day? Comfort yourself with a Portobello book

It may have been a bad day for Ruth Padel yesterday but sharp-sighted viewers will have noted the two Portobello titles, Sana Krasikov's One More Year and Jeremy Leggett's Half Gone behind her left shoulder as she resigned from her new post yesterday. She may no longer be the Oxford Professor of Poetry but she knows the kind of book that will get her through this crisis.
