Today we’re discussing our April buddy read, The Trial of Lizzie Borden by Cara Robertson. We talk about what we think of the case, the trial, and the Gilded Age gender politics. Considering the book is about a famous historical crime, this episode is pretty much spoiler-free. With plenty of sidetracking, book recommendations, and general nerding out, you can listen to the episode without having read the book. Be sure to tell us your thoughts on the Borden murders, recent Game of Thrones episodes, and what you’re reading lately!
