I talk about books I’ve been reading that have multiple main characters, and things I’ve learned from them - or haven’t. But mostly, as usual, this is 15 minutes of quiet time to get some work done.

Books mentioned: The Night Watch, by Sarah Waters, and The Golem and the Jinni, by Helene Wecker.

Sound for the 15 minutes: noises from the garden (including common gulls, sheep, and farm traffic).
