This special episode of the podcast is a quick conversation between Rebecca and Frances after they enjoyed a private tour of the library at The Mount, Edith Wharton's summer home in Lenox, Massachusetts. The team thought it might be fun to do the occasional bonus episode when the opportunity presents, capturing a bookishly fun moment in a more compact exchange. Although these "extras" might not all have the excellent bird song in the background that you will find here.

Content warning – this episode briefly discusses suicidal feelings.
