S5 Ep 25: In this special episode of This Is the Author, we meet bestselling authors Erik Larson and Lisa Wingate. You can hear them narrate an author’s note on their respective audiobook productions. Both authors used history as the basis for their books although one is fiction and one is non-fiction. In Erik Larson’s riveting narrative nonfiction work, The Splendid and the Vile, he explores Winston Churchill and London during the Blitz of WWII. Lisa Wingate’s historical fiction bestseller The Book of Lost Friends, was inspired by real advertisements for “Lost Friends” from the post-Civil War era.

Listen as they each share special memories about reading and libraries as well as why they each love audiobooks.
