Tea or Books? #64: WW1 vs WW2 and Coronation vs Love of Seven Dolls
Paul Gallico and two World Wars – quite a mix!
https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Tea-or-Books-episode-64.mp3
In the first half of this episode, we look at the books of the World Wars – whether written at the time or later – and decide which we are more drawn to. Thanks to Faith for the suggestion!
In the second half, we compare two novels by Paul Gallico – Coronation and Love of Seven Dolls. I deleted the bit where we talked about books we’d do next time – we’d talked about The Demon Lover by Elizabeth Bowen vs The Devastating Boys by Elizabeth Taylor, but we might have to postpone that. Watch this space!
