Episode 19 : To Sir Philip with Love

In this weeks episode we have a guest - the wonderful Plam- who joins to talk all things Bridgerton and dives in to the book ‘To Sir Phillip with Love’ by Julia Quinn. Expecting humour, romance and tropes? Erm… from us maybe - we discuss mainly red flags and how completely different the books are to the Netflix show. As per usual we discuss the book in its entirety so it is full of spoilers! Just a little reminder that if you do fancy reading (we always recommend that you do) then please come back to us once you've finished! Most importantly - Keep reading!

Episode 18 : The Correspondent

On this weeks episode we discuss one of my favourite books of the year… ‘The Correspondent’ by Virginia Evans. This book is a heartwarming, powerful, delight of a book told through the correspondence of a woman in her seventies. It is a story about grief, family and forgiveness. The writing is amazing and the characters are so real. Such a memorable and heart wrenching story. I always love a coming-of-old-age story and this one is perfect.

Episode 17 : The Last Witch

Once again, we are back on The Crescent and we are discussing ‘The Last Witch’ by C.J Cooke - a harrowing story about witch hunting and the torture of women but also about resilience and allies. A fantastically written and very powerful novel which takes a true part of history and retells these remarkable events. ‘Where there are women, there are witches.'

Episode 15 : The Artist

We have once again returned to The Crescent and this week we talk about ‘The Artist’ by Lucy Steeds. An intense and remarkable story about art, egocentrism, forgery and sexism inside and outside the world of art; all set in southern France just after the 1st world war. It was such a beautiful story.
