Finding Hope at the End of the World in Our November Pick: Wild Dark Shore

Whether raising a child or planting a garden, preparing for the future is an act of faith. What does it mean to bring life into the world when you can’t protect it from everything? In the November Reese’s Book Club Pick, Wild Dark Shore, author Charlotte McConaghy explores the space between hope and fatalism with a story that is part eco-thriller, part lit fic, part love story, and fully captivating. Charlotte and Danielle discuss a choppy boat ride to a sub-Antarctic island, crafting the perfect first line, and staying positive in the face of climate change.  Books Mentioned: Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy  What We Can Know by Ian McEwan Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan  Felicity by Mary Oliver  Migrations by Charlotte McConaghySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
