Welcome back bookends to another book club episode! This month's book club pick is Common Decency- the second novel by the immensely talented author and poet Susannah Dickey who we were thrilled to spend an hour chatting to! We recorded via zoom with some occasional internet issues so we apologise for any audio that may have been affected.
Trigger Warning: conversations on grief.
Aswell as a deep dive into the mind of Susannah and the worlds of her books we chatted about unhinged novels, chaotic females, the mother/daughter relationship, grief, affairs and killing fish... IYKYK.
