Matthew Hernandez chats about A Wood by Carol Shields and her daughter Anne Giardini in this episode of Book Chat with You. This story is a violinist named Elke who is working on her concert performance for the end of the month. Elke and her brothers, Ross & Stanley, are still grieving the passing of their Papa. In this story we ask ourselves what is sincerity from a sibling? Do dreams matter or do force interpretation onto others for pity or other gain? Is it natural to want sympathy? What does your (family) name mean to you and do you have to earn it?
