For Whom the Bell Tolls - 1st half discussion
Welcome to BookShook! This podcast is all about the first half of April’s book, For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway published in 1940 (up to Ch.19 (page 266) if you're reading alongside). The idea of the podcast is that we’ll split a book into two equal halves — a book that I and perhaps you have never read. In the first podcast, published on the second Friday of the month, we’ll discuss the first half. And then in the second podcast (published on the last Friday of the month - $Part2PodcastDate$ April), we’ll look at the second half of the book (in this case from chapter 19 on Page 266.). We’ll see together how the novel concludes and decide whether it’s a book we’d recommend to a friend - or not. Of course, you don’t have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I’ll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers). You can leave a comment or start a conversation at the BookShook YouTube channel (link below) or send an email to [email protected]. The book we’ll be reading for May is The Animals In That Country by Laura Jean McKay (277 pages) (so get that ready if you’re going to read alongside). Thanks for listening to BookShook! Roger
Content Warning: The novel covers the difficult themes of war, rape, murder. There are no swear words in the podcast.
This episode will be available until July but all episodes can be listened and discussed at the BookShook YouTube channel
