Episode #26: The Wedding, by Dorothy West

Welcome to One Bright Book! Join our hosts Rebecca, Frances and Dorian as they discuss THE WEDDING by Dorothy West and chat about their current reading. Summer is upon us, so we are setting ourselves free just a little bit. July and August will feature some bonus content as well as a wrap-up conversation about our summer reading. Look out for details about these conversations on our social media accounts. Our next regularly scheduled episode will be in September when we will discuss A HOUSE IN PARIS by Elizabeth Bowen. We would love to have you read along with us, and join us for our conversation coming to you as the first signs of fall arrive. We are holding a contest! We've each picked six books we're excited to read this summer. You can check out all the books at our store. But who chose what? Which books have caught Rebecca's eye? What's Dorian checking out? Which titles are calling to Frances? Match titles with reader, and send your responses via DM to the One Bright Book twitter account or email at [email protected].  Entries due at noon on July 4th, central time. Open world-wide.  Want to support the show? Visit us at Bookshop.org or click on the links below and buy some books!
