So forgive my vague questions, but I wanted to make sure that this was a spoiler-free conversation. And so it was very difficult to be able to talk about the book and not give away spoilers since it is so short. This book is a novella, and so it isn’t very long. But most of this book deals with the intersection of class and gender and what that looks like in a very interesting way she tells the story. We talk a lot about northern England and what stereotypes might be found there. And so today on the podcast, Sarah and I talk about her novel, what the inspiration was for that. And I’m so thrilled that Sarah Moss is finally coming to the United States. This one is now out from FSG in hardback, and paperback is out from Picador. We only have about two books of hers out here in the US. When this was pitched to me by the publisher, I was like, “Of course I want to talk to Sarah Moss!” She is very popular over in the UK. But to start us off, I’m gonna be talking to Sarah Moss. I spent the break talking to everyone and talking about new books and planning our reading, which is always very exciting. We have so many wonderful things planned. Welcome to 2020, friends! Welcome to a new season of Reading Women. Today, I’m talking to Sarah Moss about her book Ghost Wall, which is out now in paperback from Picador. And this is Reading Women, a podcast inviting you to reclaim half the bookshelf by discussing books written by or about women. Kendra Winchester: Hello, I’m Kendra Winchester.
