Series 6 Episode 4: White Feathers

Listen Later

Romance? Suffragettes? WWI? Mustard Gas? BTS's Kim Seokjin and the magic of his "Super Tuna" (not a euphemism) 

I mean, if that's what we're talking in this month's episode on Susan Lanigan's "White Feathers" we better all strap in folks.

To give the briefest of overviews, we've got:

  • Ashling Murphy's murder and how we wish the other women killed last year (some as recently as 3 weeks ago) had the same public response
  • What is a Bluestocking anyway
  • "Finishing School" sounds like the most depressing thing in the world
  • The Evil Stepmother - is this a trope simply because evil stepmothers ran rampant at one time?
  • How much we love a complicated "horrible" character - and Eva's sister Grace is exactly one of those
  • How familial support is different depending on what your parents experience is growing up - if someone grew up in poverty, is keeping you out of it enough for protection?
  • And is a relationship with a teacher EVER okay?

    • Tangents? Well I mean, obviously:

    • Our shared anger over the murder of Ashling Murphy AND the other unmentioned women killed recently in Ireland
    • Chloe's imaginary wedding to BTS's Jungkook (yes again)
    • Seriously, when is BTS's Jin going to get a Pultizer for Super Tuna?
    • Katie's Dad's car
    • A whistlestop tour through Cliodhna's therapy schedule
    • And the fact that Katie still isn't 100% sure what gaslighting is, no matter how many times she (incorrectly) uses the term

      • That and the birth of the hashtag "WWI Germans are people too"

      It's all here in this month's Chick Lit 4 Life!
