Friends & Fiction

Friends & Fiction with Brisa Carleton


Listen Later

On this episode, Patti Callahan Henry & Kristy Woodson Harvey welcome Broadway producer turned author Brisa Carleton to discuss her debut novel Last Call at the Savoy, which is set against the glittering backdrop of London's iconic Savoy hotel where a young woman is forced to confront her troubled past as she uncovers the story of the hotel's first female bartender who’s been erased from the history books. Brisa grew up in the Pacific Northwest before moving to Midtown Manhattan to turn her passion for musicals and "flare for the dramatic" into an award-winning career as a Broadway producer. Three Tonys later, she's worked on numerous productions including Hamilton, Beautiful, and Moulin Rouge. She recently turned her entrepreneurial spirit to actual "spirits," launching Literati Spirits, a premium vodka created by book lovers for book lovers. She joins us to discuss her buzzy debut novel Last Call at the Savoy which Fiona Davis calls, "an exhilarating, tender read that will leave you smiling," and which Lisa Jackson calls, “bright and sassy.”
