15: Reading In Isolation
Louise and Virginia discuss the strange new world we find ourselves in and are surprised by their responses to the situation. They recommend lots of books about epidemics, pandemics, isolation and adversity, for those so inclined. They discuss the books they've been reading, the first half of Middlemarch, The Stella Prize for Fiction shortlist, and they review two books from the shortlist, as well as discussing a couple of things they've been diving into.
