ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Today on the shelf: Foster by Claire Keegan and The Plea by Patricia Bryan and Thomas Wolf.
Book talk:
- Foster is a beautifully tragic novella about a teenage girl in Ireland and her experience living with a new family for an undefined period of time while her mother was pregnant. The book is written from the perspective of the child, which requires the reader to make inferences based on the limited information and understanding the main character can provide.
- The Plea is a historical narrative nonfiction story recounting the conviction, imprisonment, and eventual pardon of Wesley Elkins, who was sentenced to life at Anamosa State Penitentiary at 11 years old for murdering his parents. The events take place in rural Iowa, and details offer insight into the American court, prison, and news systems during that period of time.
