In this episode, host Jess speaks with poet and retiree Rosemary Drescher about Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. We talk about relying on stories when we need to escape reality, creating a safe space with language and manners, and the importance of understanding and accepting ourselves to help us adapt to the world around us.
