In this week’s mini we discuss Elspeth Barker, a Scottish writer raised in Drumtochty Castle, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, where her parents ran a prep school for boys. Barker was a close friend of last week’s lost lady, Elizabeth Smart despite the fact that Barker was married to the poet George Barker, Smart’s former lover and the father of her children. We loved Elspeth’s novel “O Caledonia” with its unique coming-of-age narrative and dark academia vibe. For episodes and show notes, visit:  LostLadiesofLit.com Follow us on instagram @lostladiesoflit.
