Holly Goldberg Sloan, PIECES OF BLUE
from Totally Booked with Zibby
Zibby speaks to feature film writer and New York Times bestselling author Holly Goldberg Sloan about Pieces of Blue, a compelling, humorous, and bighearted page-turner about a family attempting to restore a ramshackle beachside motel–and their own lives! Holly describes the conversation that inspired this novel, her childhood of international moves, the theme of loss in her stories and her life, and all the difficult, tragic moments she has experienced that have filtered into her writing. She and Zibby also discuss memories and how fascinating it is that we all remember things differently.
