Some books ask for more than just a passing glance—they invite commitment, urging us to settle in for the long haul. In this episode of The Ritual of Reading Podcast, we explore the charm of literary sagas and the rewards of long-term reading, with a special focus on my journey through Elizabeth Jane Howard’s Cazalet Chronicles. And since no reading ritual is complete without a little indulgence, we’ll also take a delightful detour into the history of marmalade. So, brew a cup of Earl Grey, get cosy, and let the ritual begin!
