Tea or Books? #71: Multi-Narrative vs Single Narrative, and Period Piece vs A London Child of the 1870s
Lots of perspectives or a single narrative, and two 19th-century childhood memoirs – here we go!
https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Tea-or-Books-episode-71.mp3
In the first half of this episode, we discuss multi-narrative novels and whether or not we prefer them to single narrative novels. In the second half, we turn to memoirs of 19th-century childhood – Molly Hughes’ novel A London Child of the 1870s vs Gwen Raverat’s Period Piece.
