799.5 Laurie Frankel's Enormous Wings (Revisited) | My Last Book with Julie Gilbert

Happy Mother's Day! Jacke takes advantage of an error to revisit a conversation with novelist Laurie Frankel about her book Enormous Wings (us.macmillan.com/books/9781250423771/enormousw…), in which an unexpected pregnancy leads a seventy-seven-year-old woman to reflect on the meaning of motherhood. PLUS Edna Ferber's biographer (and grandniece) Julie Gilbert (Giant Love: Edna Ferber, Her Best-Selling Novel of Texas, and the Making of a Classic American Film (penguinrandomhouse.com/books/607862/giant-love…)) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read.
