Ep 139: All Our Worldly Goods by Irène Némirovsky
Anna and Amanda discuss the 2020 Booker Prize Longlist.
Our book of the week is All Our Worldly Goods by Irène Némirovsky translated by Sandra Smith. This is a beautiful novel set in France during the period from the 1910s to the 1940s. Némirovsky was a best-selling author in her day and we can see why. A great pick for Women in Translation Month.
