Sarah and Alice discuss their love for books with a strong sense of place and make some recommendations. They also talk about Sarah's progress in the Booker longlist, and Sarah tries to convince Alice to read The Little Friend.
As mentioned in the end of the episode, we are planning to record a Q&A episode in September! If you have a question for any or all of us (Chris, Sarah, Jenny, or Alice), please send us an email or message us on social media!
