ACOFAE Podcast Presents: A Far Better Thing: “2025 - it was the worst of times, it was the worst of times”
When was the last time you picked up a one of the "classic" books for fun? Has it been a while? Was it required reading that you were tested on at the end? Keep those answers in mind as you join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie in discussing A Far Better Thing by H.G. Parry. A reimagining of A Tale of Two Cities, this story sees the reader encountering now only the classic characters like Sydney and Lucie but also fairies, goblins, and kings. Meeting your Changeling is something that is not done, but when Sydney meets not only his Changeling but his childhood loves as well, plots are revealed and past crimes must be paid for with blood. ACOFAE also touches on accessibility, required reading, retellings, and movies that borrow from the classics.
"I don't know this man."
