When Jennifer Chevalier isn’t digging up the latest political scoop on The House on CBC Radio, she’s unearthing untold stories of women in history. She has always been particularly interested in the women labeled as witches throughout history. In her debut novel, she writes about the women who came to New France from Normandy to be brides, with a hint of witchcraft. Plus, CBC Books associate producer Ailey Yamamoto talks about the intersection between video games and high art.

Books discussed on this week's show include:

The Winter Witch by Jennifer Chevalier

Of Floating Isles: On Growing Pains and Video Games by Kawika Guillermo
