Willa Cather and reading rules – welcome to episode 133 of ‘Tea or Books?’!

https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/tea-or-books-133.mp3

In the first half, we discuss reading rules – when we’re picking up a book, are there certain things that will definitely put us off? In the second half, we compare two novels by Willa Cather: Sapphira and the Slave Girl and A Lost Lady.
