About this listen

In this week's episode, we are celebrating nearly 100 years of Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf by making a pastry from the book that's enjoyed by both the characters and podcasters alike -- chocolate eclairs! Though they're quite the demanding and time-consuming pastry, the eclair makes a perfect little sweet with tea! We hope you enjoy listening to this week's episode as much as we enjoyed eating chocolate eclairs (which was a lot).
