*SPECIAL EPISODE: RWR BOOK CLUB* This week, we read The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah This novel follows two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France. It shows the side of the war that is seldom seen: the women's war.  Sierra Marshall, love story aficionado and two other very special guests: Claire (our RWR Book Club fearless founder) and Marlee (the one who seems to mic drop in every episode she appears in). In this episode we cover:  The powerful writing that is Kristin Hannah - and why I am very much obsessed with her. Why the ending frustrated most of us and what we wanted to see instead.  How the strength of women continues to amaze us.  Open your book and press play on a podcast episode that will have you climbing a mountain in order to read this book (not really, but we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did).  Mentioned in the Pairings section of the podcast: DRINK: French 75, Espresso Martini, Irish Coffee   TV SHOW - Wynonna Earp, The Handmaid's Tale, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Bluey, Downton Abbey, Peaky Blinders BOOK - The Diamond Eye, Night Witches, The Book Thief, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society MOVIE - Harriet, The Book Thief ***  Once you're done listening, hop onto our Instagram and TikTok @rwreadspodcast to give us your thoughts on the discussion and the book. We look forward to hearing from you!    * Disclaimer * At Red Wine Reads, we want to engage in the stories of people from all kinds of backgrounds and experiences. The value of books lies in the power of storytelling and sharing a range of perspectives. We don't want to just read what we know, we want to read stories that open our worldview. And in turn, that means getting into challenging, rewarding conversations. But we are not experts in any field — literature, race relations, politics, etc .— and we know that our reviews of these books come from a place of privilege. We encourage our community of readers to add to these conversations with their own thoughts, critiques, and questions. We want to open up a safe place for people. That being said, we also realize that getting into race, sexuality, gender, and other difficult topics can be triggering. We aim to include content warnings whenever they are applicable but we are not perfect. So as we continue to do our best, know you have the room to tell us when we can do better and even, if you want to, share resources with us. Let's learn, grow, and have fun together.

Thank you!“It all started with Miss Prim.For many years, I was convinced of a tragic lie: that novels were lesser things than non-fiction. In my youth, a novel was a school assignment to trudge through, because some conclave of intellectuals blessed it with merit. At best, the story within would relate to some "real" thing of interest. This conviction became less of one over time. And it changed completely in January when the ancient widow character in The Awakening of Miss Prim shook my depths. From there I began novel reading for pleasure; to soften all the hardness; to elevate the soul.I am not a speedy reader, but I managed 13 novels this year. I painted a little painting for each book, which I happily display here.” -Kelly CurtisFeatured books in this episode:* The Great Divorce CS Lewis* The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis* The Awakening of Miss Prim: A Novel by Natalia Sanmartin Fenollera * Little Women by Louisa May Alcott* Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery* Jane Austen's books* Echo Mountain by Lauren Wolk* Far From the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy* The Scent of Water by Elizabeth Goudge * The Dean's Watch by Elizabeth Goudge* Skyward Novellas by Brandon Sanderson* Lord of the Rings by J.

Douglas* Thomas Becket: Warrior, Priest, Rebel by John Guy* The Histories of Earth series by Steven J. Carroll with Joel Froomkin (Narrator) Further information now that I've finished the series: book four does have some “religious content” in that they meet a society founded by Ancient Romans and tell them the history that came since Ancient times on Earth including the downfall of their Empire and the influence of Christianity in that time. They are all appalled (lol) to have ever become a monotheistic society. It does not proselytize. I loved this series and cannot recommend it highly enough! * Enchantress from the Stars by Sylvia Engdahl * The Confessions, Revised: Saint Augustine (The Works of Saint Augustine: A Translation for the 21st Century, Vol. 1) by Augustine and Maria Boulding (Translator)* The Julian Messner Shelf of Biographies- Link is to our printable series list* The Story of Clara Barton of the Red Cross by Jeannette Covert Nolan * Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsk Kelly's other covers from last year:Thanks for listening!

We've got one of our favorite topics this week, the book was better. Each book was turned into a tv show, one we've seen and one we haven't, but we're certain the books are better! Kristia branched out with a historical fiction read, and the whole story is written in the form of letters. Set shortly after the second world war, this story is full of enjoyable characters that make it hard to set down. Rachael found out her book is closer to a spy novel than she expect. She's got a flight attendant with a drinking problem, who probably didn't kill that guy, but she doesn't listen to her lawyer. Note: it's usually best to take your lawyer's advise.

This week the gang reads historical fiction. Alisa and Aileen are old pros at this sub-genre while Josie and Lauren are more like dabblers. Ironically, almost all of the picks were in the WW2 category while Josie was the odd duck who traveled back to medieval Europe.Aileen read Moloka'i by Alan Brennert. She's been trying for years to read this book but every time she picked it up, she'd put it back down after asking herself, “do I really want to read about a leper colony?” Well, she finally read it and she's so glad she did. It was uplifting and inspiring and not at all the bummer she imagined it be at the outset. Thanks to her friend Pam for suggesting it!It took Lauren a moment to spit out the title, but The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Schaffer was a huge hit for her. This book took her a beat to get into but once she did, she never wanted it to end. Set during the German occupation of Guernsey during WW2, this epistolary-style book was a great yarn. As always, Lauren doesn't suggest books unless she loves the characters, and this book she highly recommends.Alisa found a real gem in The Only Woman in the Room by Heather Terrel. Set mostly during WW2 as well, this story is about Hettie Lamar's life, loves and her inventions. The gang was just floored to learn about this multi-faceted, self-taught woman whose mind was even more stunning than her famous face. There were some real mind blowers in this one, and the gang was just spellbound by Alisa's description.Josie went to the way-way back with Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose. It was murderous monks galore in this runaway bestselling book that was not only inspired by a medieval manuscript, it's also about one, hidden deep within a library that also a labyrinth. There are so many twists and turns, both metaphorically and in the plot, it will have your head spinning. But don't let the Latin freak you out. This is a real page turner as well as being a meditation on one of the biggest theological debates in Catholicism. Josie loved it. 

Danny and Dirty debate the true meaning of a potato peel pie and if love can really exist on an island with pigs.

In the United Kingdom, a book club is called a literary society - cuz they classy. In this episode, the Old Fogies find they can relate to a group of people using culture and camaraderie to survive a painful social upheaval (read: the current pandemic) in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. We've never seen so many book-burners attend a book club. Two. A total of two attend.
