On today’s episode, Sophie and I discuss our June book, The Fortnight in September by R.C. Sheriff.   We both found this to be an almost perfect summer novel and we share some of the reasons it struck all the right notes, despite being close to a century old.  This book has had a recent resurgence in popularity and we chat about why that is and what our most meaningful connections to this classic were.

We also discuss our favorite things of the week, what we’re reading now AND we announce our July/August book!  It’s a packed episode.  Join us!
