#50 James Michener's: The Bridge at Andau
from Shared Pages · host sharedpagespodcast
It's October already, and this episode is going up a little late (the evening instead of the morning) but this month was Ian's pick and he chose James Michener's: The Bridge at Andau which details the events of the Hungarian student revolution of 1956. Ian chose this book because of a familial interest, but both Ian and Ronnie found something to chew on in this text. The Bridge at Andau discusses the siege at Radio Budapest, the Battle at Killian barracks, and of course, the titular Bridge at Andau. In the this episode, we summarize the book, discuss the composite characters, and discuss how little of Eastern Europe is taught in US schools. Next month's book is Ronnie's and she chose: Don't Let the Forest In by CG Drews. A perfect read for spooky month!
