Join the #BookSquad and special guest Leah Rachel von Essen for our #bookpisode about Akwaeke Emezi’s debut novel, Freshwater. We talk about the novel’s unique, nonlinear narrative structure, mental illness, the spirit world, gender and trauma. Then we get into some listener feedback on Circe and Nine Perfect Strangers and tell you about all of the great recaps, reviews and series on the #BookSquadBlog. Go to the movies and join us on November 18 for our next #othersode about Doctor Sleep, and read along for our next #bookpisode on American Spy by Lauren Wilkinson on December 2!
