BookPage podcast: ‘Let’s Take the Long Way Home’

The podcast ladies are back: Kate, Eliza, Abby and Trisha

Yesterday we gave you a chance to win a free copy of Gail Caldwell‘s memoir Let’s Take the Long Way Home (and it’s not too late to enter, if you haven’t already). Today, we’re sharing a conversation about our reactions to the book, which goes on sale today.

In the second BookPage podcast, we discuss the friendship portrayed in Let’s Take the Long Way Home, Caldwell’s writing style and why this memoir will appeal to book clubs. Also, we talk about why a story about friendship and grief is powerful, hopeful—and not at all sappy.

Did our conversation make you eager to pick up the book? If you’ve already read a review copy of the memoir, do you agree with our assessments? Why or why not?

Also on The Book Case: Listen to BookPage editors discuss Yann Martel’s Beatrice and Virgil.

    I am scared to read this! What if I read it and don’t cry? Will that mean I’m a robot?
