Greetings Obsassenachs! This week on a LIVE edition of The Sassenach Files, I hosted my fifth edition of Droughtlander Book Club where I discussed the first half of The Emerald Brooch by Katherine Lowry Logan. Join me as I break down the defining details of our main characters Kenzie Wallis Manning and David McBain as well as the rising actions of their stories in Book Four. I chat about some of the major through lines and themes of this portion of the book along with the expansion of the Brooch Universe, some cool World War II history, and Elliott and Meredith's quick, yet heartbreaking story. This book also happens to have a couple of my favorite characters a la Jack Mallory and “Cav” Cavanaugh, so I made sure to discuss them too!
