Clare Mackintosh joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about her latest novel, THE LAST PARTY, which is a blend of police procedural and psychological thriller. It's set on the border of England and Wales, where each country has a lot of national pride at stake when a crime happens across the border. As Clare was writing, she realized that this would be the start of a three-book series featuring Detective Constable Ffion Morgan. She writes from multiple points of view and timelines, and discusses what drew her to write in that style and flesh out so many characters. They both love to swim, though Carol hands the cold water sans wetsuit swims over to Clare.

Jamie Fiore Higgins talks to Carol Fitzgerald about BULLY MARKET: My Story of Money and Misogyny at Goldman Sachs. Jamie explains what drove her to join Goldman Sachs in the late '90s and the obstacles she faced as she started her career. She shares details about the demands of the job and the cost of her success. As both her marriage and her mental health were tested, she made plans to leave the company, creating a “spreadsheet of freedom” to calculate the moment “she would have enough financial security to quit.” As she moved on from Goldman, she discusses how she worked to redefine herself --- and what a challenge that was. They also talk about how the book has been resonating with book groups --- and what they are reacting to.

Lynda Cohen Loigman joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about her new historical novel, THE MATCHMAKER'S GIFT. Lynda was writing something else when Lynda's daughter brought her roommate home when their college classes shut down during the pandemic. The three of them ended up watching “Indian Matchmaking” on Netflix, and the roommate piped up and said that her grandmother had been a matchmaker. This sparked an idea for Lynda. Suddenly she found herself casting the book that she was writing aside to tell the story of a Jewish matchmaker who had been born in 1910, along with that of the matchmaker's granddaughter, a divorce lawyer in 1994. THE MATCHMAKER'S GIFT is laced with lots of historical details about matchmaking and Rabbinical courts, and is peppered with Yiddish expressions. Lynda talks about how she nails her storytelling --- and shares wonderful details about how she approached her research.

April 8, 2019 - Our time machine welcomes aboard book lovers live at the Meet the Author Series presented by Mayda Bosco at the Closter Public Library in New Jersey. Together, we travel back to the Brooklyn and Massachusetts of the pre- and post-World War 2 era, for a tale of sibling strife that's as old as Cain and Abel. This is the engaging, absorbing story of two very different sisters, Ruth and Millie Kaplan. Raised in Brooklyn, each carries a hope chest full of hurt and secrets from their childhood. Although they try their best to escape it, they're forced together again as adults at the Springfield Armory, where the Arsenal of Democracy gears up to support the war effort. Many years have passed, but marriages, husbands, and even kids of their own can't stop them from sliding right back into the sandbox of roles forged in childhood. Weaving this tale of hurt feelings, estrangement, and siblings who are just running wildly different emotional operating systems, is Lynda Cohen Loigman, author of The Wartime Sisters: A Novel. It's the sophomore offering after her critically acclaimed debut The Two-Family House, a 2016 nominee for the Goodreads Choice Awards in Historical Fiction. Visit our guest LyndaCohenLoigman.com, follow her @LyndaLoigman on Twitter or LLoigman on Instagram, and toss a like to her author Facebook page.  

Lynda Cohen Loigman paints a clear picture of the WWII homefront as she spins a tale of two sisters and how they navigate the world and their relationship. Listen to Lynda's story of writing this beautiful book!
