The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell

  • サマリー

  • This week we’re deep diving into the brilliant Maggie O’Farrell’s The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox, a novel about Victorian asylums, family secrets, and the tragedy of being yourself.


    Also this week, Saph read 100 Boyfriends by Brontez Purnell, Joseph read Day by Michael Cunningham, and Michelle read Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett.


    This week’s listener recommendation request comes from Skye who loved Milk Teeth by Jessica Andrews and is looking for something with a similarly lyrical first-person style. Joseph recommends Second Self by Chloe Ashby, Saph recommends Tangerine by Christine Mangan, and Michelle recommends Normal People by Sally Rooney.


    Also mentioned in this episode:


    Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier


    I Am I Am I Am by Maggie O’Farrell


    The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
