Hey bookends!
Welcome back to another book club episode, this month's book club pick is The Life Of The Mind by Christine Smallwood, an incredible debut novel that explores miscarriage, female friendship, loss and faith and how these things interlink. We are thrilled to have Christine on the podcast and we hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did- please note the conversation does include talk of miscarriage which may be triggering for some listeners.

Thank you to Europa Editions for our gifted copies and for making this conversation possible.
