"The Man Who Gave Me A Biscuit" has got to be in the running to be the most uninspiring book title of the year, if not the century but don't click away to the next article just yet!
Penny Woolcock's book - subtitled "Love and Death in Argentina" is her autobiography about growing up in Buenos Aires in the 1950s and 60s.

She appears, talking about her book, on the BBC radio programme "Start the Week" (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002t1dd) and the interview can be heard here:
