Dana and Veronica discuss Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy. They cover wolf conservation, synthesia, the draw of unlikeable characters, and the blur the book makes between genres.

Dana and Veronica change the subject a little and talk about the four ways people enter books: plot, character, setting and language. They bring up old favorites, their own preferences and the magic of writing.

Dana and Veronica talk about the themes of mother-daughter relationships, the difficulties of being the person that breaks down barriers, and take a detour to talk about why they like book clubs so much.

This week we discuss Of Women and Salt by Gabriela Garcia, touching on non-linear storytelling, generational trauma, and how Dana choses books for Chapters.
