Podcasts about what she left behind

Novel Ideas will be discussing the book What She Left Behind by Ellen Marie Wiseman. DBC 06250 Below is the synopsis from Bookshare. Ten years ago, Izzy Stone's mother fatally shot her father while he slept. Devastated by her mother's apparent insanity, Izzy, now seventeen, refuses to visit her in prison. But her new foster parents, employees at the local museum, have enlisted Izzy's help in cataloging items at a long-shuttered state asylum. There, amid piles of abandoned belongings, Izzy discovers a stack of unopened letters, a decades-old journal, and a window into her own past. Clara Cartwright, eighteen years old in 1929, is caught between her overbearing parents and her love for an Italian immigrant. Furious when she rejects an arranged marriage, Clara's father sends her to a genteel home for nervous invalids. But when his fortune is lost in the stock market crash, he can no longer afford her care—and Clara is committed to the public asylum. Even as Izzy deals with the challenges of yet another new beginning, Clara's story keeps drawing her into the past. If Clara was never really mentally ill, could something else explain her own mother's violent act? Piecing together Clara's fate compels Izzy to re-examine her own choices—with shocking and unexpected results. Illuminating and provocative, What She Left Behind is a masterful novel about the yearning to belong—and the mysteries that can belie even the most ordinary life. Join us in this zoom meeting to discuss this great book. Host: Randi Shelton E-Mail: rshelton820@gmail.com Co-Host Ruth ann Acosta, E-Mail: ruth1244@gmail.com

Welcome to our first podcast episode ever! In our first season, we are discussing What She Left Behind by Ellen Marie Wiseman, and our first episode is just chapters 1-4. So you don't have to have the entire book read to listen to our podcast. We are reading a handful of chapters each week too, so it's spoiler free (except for the chapters we're discussing, obviously).  In this episode, we meet Izzy and Clara. Izzy is 17 and in foster care in 1995. Clara is 18 and the daughter of a wealthy banker in 1929. What She Left Behind has alternating chapters telling their stories. And we're emotional about all of it already.     Reading Roommates is a long distance book club where we discuss a few chapters each week.
