Tea or Books? #43: scientists vs clergymen, and As It Was vs Fair Stood the Wind for France
Scientists! Vicars! H.E. Bates! Helen Thomas!
https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Tea-or-Books-episode-43.mp3
We’re popping in between holidays to record an episode about clergymen and scientists in novels – doubtless missing plenty of them, but thank you for everyone who tweeted in with your suggestions. We’d love to hear more!
In the second half, we discuss Helen Thomas’s memoir As It Was (1926) and H.E. Bates’ novel Fair Stood the Wind for France (1944) – which turn out to have more in common than we feared (and less than we initially thought). It’s quite the rollercoaster, guys.
Do check out our iTunes page, and you should be able to rate and review through iTunes apps and maybe podcast apps and one day I’ll work out how this happens. Below are the books and authors we mention in this episode:
