August 2023: Reverie - Open Book Unbound

What this episode covers

What is nostalgia, and what happens when our memories aren't accompanied by the rose-tinted memories typically associated with the feeling? As Open Book welcomes the new theme of nostalgia for this month's sessions, Claire and Marjorie read short story 'Reverie' by Kimberley White and 'Nigh No Place' by Jen Hadfield. Open Book will be at Edinburgh International Book Festival at various dates throughout August. Come along to one of our free (ticketed) shared reading sessions, where our Lead Readers will be exploring the writings of debut authors visiting the festival.
