Welcome to the 45th episode of The Bookcast Club, a book podcast for people who love to read and talk books. Today, Sarah T and Jenny read and discuss Sarah K's favourite books, The Secret History by Donna Tartt and Grief is the Thing with Feathers by Max Porter.
Content warning: we discuss grief in detail in the second part of this episode, which some listeners may find upsetting. We have included chapter markers so you can skip our discussion on Grief is the Thing with Feathers.

We encourage you to shop with your local independent book store. Many have gone to great efforts to develop an online presence and we're sure most, if not all, will take orders over the phone.
