This episode is all about married and unmarried people – in general, and two ‘spinsters’ in particular. Buckle up! https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Tea-or-Books-episode-60-1.mp3 (Apologies if the podcast in your app overlaps the intro music with the intro chat… this one doesn’t, but I don’t know how it’ll appear elsewhere!) In the first half, we look at books with married or unmarried characters. Yes, I’m aware that that is all books. We do narrow down a little! And in the second half we narrow down to two particular unmarried women – in Winifred Watson’s Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day and Herbert Jenkins’ Patricia Brent, Spinster. Very many thanks to Karen for suggesting the topic. It is perhaps our most controversial one ever! The episode with me on my brother’s podcast, C to Z of Movies, is now live! Listen to us discuss films beginning with S – either on Soundcloud or via your podcast app of choice. Other links – you can support the podcast on Patreon, or visit our iTunes page, or rate and review through various apps. The books and authors we mention in this episode are: A Lost Lady by Willa Cather The Professor’s House by Willa Cather Turtle Diary by Russell Hoban Mansfield and Me called Sarah Laing Brecht Evens Peter Pan and Wendy by J.M. Barrie Cry, The Beloved Country by Alan Paton Dear Mrs Bird by A.J. Pearce Greenery Street by Denis Mackail Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier Diary of a Provincial Lady by E.M.
