Listen "Shelby Cunningham"
Episode Synopsis
This is a very special episode for Books, Beach, & Beyond celebrating Elin’s 31st novel written with her daughter, Shelby Cunningham – The Academy, publishing this September 16th. Our guest for this episode is Elin’s daughter Shelby and they dig into the writing of The Academy, Shelby growing up on Nantucket and heading to boarding school at St. George’s Academy in Rhode Island, and how that inspired the writing of the novel and the fictional Tiffin Academy. The three discuss the difference between Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z, what books they were reading and their individual high school experiences, and so much more! It’s a funny, entertaining look at this mother-daughter duo in anticipation of the book's release.A Special Thank you to our Episode Sponsors:Book of the MonthNantucket LoomsReading List:The Academy by Elin Hilderbrand and Shelby CunninghamPinkaliciousFancy NancyOlivia the PigPerfectly Arugula28 Summers by Elin HilderbrandThe Love Season by Elin HilderbrandThe Blue Bistro by Elin HilderbrandMrs DallowayThe Hours by Michael CunninghamJane Eyre The Great Gatsby by F.
