“…books offer us a way to learn and think, to make sense of the world, find peace for ourselves, or just offer us the pleasure of a well-written, utterly absorbing story” says Roxanne.

What’s the name of the first book Roxanne mentioned, the one you can read in one sitting and is “old fashioned story telling” and “fabley.” I think I missed it!
I listened to it 3 times because I missed it too. I think it must have been “His Favorites: A Novel” because like she said in the podcast it is a staff favorite and short. Although the topic doesn’t seem like it would lend itself to a fable. I’m going to give it a go.
Oh! I looked at the newsletter link above and it has the transcript. The book is “West” by Caryn Davis.
