Rosamond Lehmann, Antonia White, and authors’ houses – welcome to episode 94!

https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/tea-or-books-episode-94.mp3

In the first half of this episode, we do a topic suggested by Gillian – do we care where authors live? That is, do we want to visit their houses – we talk through authors’ houses we’ve visited and those we’d like to visit.

In the second half, we compare two coming-of-age novels: Frost in May by Antonia White and Dusty Answer by Rosamond Lehmann.
