Come along to the (not as cozy as you’d think) English countryside for our discussion of "Unsettled Ground" by Claire Fuller. We talk about the setting, the writing style, the sibling relationship at the heart of the novel, the twist(s), and whether this book is sadness porn. Read along with us for our upcoming Othersode on December 13th as we shift gears into nonfiction with the essay collection "The 2000s Made Me Gay" by Grace Perry. Then for our next Bookpisode, we’ll be discussing "Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch" by Rivka Galchen on December 27th.
