About this listen

Welcome to the Bookfluencer Pod! This month, to celebrate our heritage, each episode will feature a book written by an Irish author. Today we're talking about Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney and The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods.

A few takeaways from Conversations with Friends that Shan shares include:

  • All of Rooney’s characters are deeply flawed in some way.
  • The story is a snapshot of two couples’ lives, their relationships (and affairs), and how those relationships are impacted by internal struggles.

A few takeaways from The Lost Bookshop that Tiff shares include:

  • Multiple perspectives and stories intersect across time, which makes for a captivating read as you slowly begin to see how the characters’ lives are intertwined.
  • The story is both heartbreaking and heartwarming at times.
  • It’s a reminder of the magic of books!
