33. Women Talking about Women Talking

Today we share our conversation about Women Talking by Miriam Toews and are thrilled to be joined by our first repeat guest, Jaclyn Masters.  Jaclyn first joined us on episode 29 and we are grateful to have her back to share thoughts about this very buzzy book that was also a 2023 Academy Award nominee and won an Oscar for best adapted screenplay.  We had very strong reactions to this hot button novel that is the perfect book club book.
