Listen "86: Chat with Monica Wood"
Episode Synopsis
This week, I’m joined by the wonderful bestselling author Monica Wood to chat all about her heartfelt new novel, How to Read a Book. It’s a story that beautifully explores forgiveness, second chances, and the quiet ways books can change our lives.We talk about what inspired Violet, Harriet, and Frank’s intersecting stories, the real-life inspiration behind the prison book club at the heart of the novel, and how reading can help us find connection and healing when we least expect it.If you love stories that remind you of the goodness still left in the world, this is one you won’t want to miss. How to Read a Book is tender, hopeful, and so fitting for book clubs — and my conversation with Monica felt like sitting down with an old friend who just really gets why we love stories.Website: https://www.monicawood.com/The Book Monica Recommends: Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel
