Miles of Books: Engrossing Summer Reads, Including Ann Patchett’s New Novel
Running
Anyone looking for novels to read at the pool, beach, or on a plane will appreciate the entertaining, well-crafted books discussed in this episode. Hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Ellison Weist start with the “subtle beauty” of the latest novel by Ann Patchett (the host-duo detail their favorite novels by this esteemed author). In discussing a new domestic thriller, they debate why male narrators are somewhat rare in that genre. An engaging new book that elevates the standard beach read prompts a series of sideline conversations about various generations. Finally, each host shares a graphic novel she’s recently read. The books discussed:
Whistler: Ann Patchett
The Au Pair: Teddy Wayne
The Shampoo Effect: Jenny Jackson
Anxietyland: Gemma Correll
Charity and Sylvia: Tillie Walden
