Tea or Books? #121: Should Books Have A Message? and Two Jane Gardam Novels
Jane Gardam and messages in books – welcome to episode 121!
https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/tea-or-books-121.mp3
In the first half of the episode, Rachel and I discuss whether or not we think books should have a message. In the second half we pit two Jane Gardam novels against each other: Old Filth and the same story from another angle, The Man in the Wooden Hat.
