Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2znLp2GCE4kFujqNJbNzAq?si=900ada28514a4f9a Hiya, book club besties! This month, we read the New York Times Number One Best Seller: The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller. The story’s protagonist is Elle Bishop, a 50-something woman in love with two men - her husband, and her childhood best friend. As the blurb tells us, “so begins a story that unfolds over twenty four hours and across fifty years.” What is Elle’s big secret - the one that has kept her tethered to, but arms distance from, her best friend Jonas? And which man will she choose in the end? Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle go everywhere: from standout characters, to the theme of intergenerational trauma, before a big chat about that ending.

Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6xCwY68RS1vfKqfnqwenBO?si=e62c6ae1b3d44ec0 Happy Saturday, book worms! This month, we took on our first non-fiction book, a memoir from the now 28-year-old North Korean defector and activist, Yeonmi Park. Published in 2015, Yeonmi tells the story of the first 22 years of her life - from her first 13 years growing up in North Korea as it was consumed by famine, to fleeing over the border to China where she and her mother fell into the hands of human traffickers, and finally, to escaping to South Korea by traversing through the Gobi desert through the night in search of a better life. Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle chat about all that Yeonmi so generously shared with her readers: Her childhood, the adversities faced in China, and the heartbreaking reality of life with newfound freedom.

Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0cnR7JPXfbdZegoCkKcsVW?si=11875c1abc114a6e Hey, book club besties! This month, we read the incredible debut novel by Alka Joshi titled the Henna Artist. Following protagonist Lakshmi - one of Jaipur’s most in-demand Henna Artists - the novel tells the story of a woman running away from her past in 1950s India in order to forge her own path. But of course, there’s only so far she can run before her ex-husband and a sister she didn’t know existed turn up on her doorstep. So, does their arrival mark the beginning of the end for Lakshmi’s new life? It’s a story about freedom of choice, domestic abuse, and arranged marriage, and boy was it a riveting read. Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle chat about the book’s exploration of the female experience in India during the 1950s, standout characters, and plot twist execution.

S1 Ep 321BOOK CLUB: You and Me on Vacation

E

Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/66sRsUb76DWcJ4sKuOHGSA?si=f71eb2f8b07e4904 Why hello there, book clubbers! This month, we read ‘You and Me on Vacation’ by Emily Henry, and boy oh boy did it deliver on its promise to be a sugary, frothy read. Protagonists Alex and Poppy have nothing in common. She’s a wild child; he wears khakis. She has insatiable wanderlust; he prefers to stay home with a book. And somehow, ever since a fateful car-share home from college many years ago, they are the very best of friends. For most of the year they live far apart—she’s in New York City, and he’s in their small hometown—but every summer, for a decade, they go on holiday together. It’s a story of girl meets boy, girl befriends boy, girl falls in love with boy, girl loses boy, and then, finally, girl gets boy back. Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle discuss the book’s structure, believability, ending, and eeeverything in between. Got some thoughts on our October pick, ‘The Henna Artist’ by Alka Joshi?

Link to this episode in the new The Shameless Book Club feed: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Qt4haOvZTsnOQMw1ftiFV?si=ae117cf720ae413e Yaaaayyyyy! It’s book club day! This month, we read the debut novel from Emily Itami called Fault Lines. Fault Lines follows the story of Mizuki, a Japanese housewife with two adorable children and an extremely hardworking husband. She has everything anyone could ever want, so why does the book open with her wanting to throw herself off a high-rise balcony rather than spend another evening folding laundry or being ignored by her husband? Then, Mizuki meets Kiyoshi, a successful restaurateur. He understands her, listens to her - hell, he even looks her in the eye when he is speaking. So, what is a woman like Mizuki to do when she finds herself at such a fork in the road? Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle discuss the intersection between motherhood, subservience, and the affair threaded throughout this novel, as well as what the ending said about the meaning of happiness.
