Writing Women Back Into History: The 1930s Mob Case Behind June’s Reese’s Book Club Pick
About this episode
The episode discusses the nuances of writing historical fiction and the importance of women's stories through the lens of the novel 'A Pair of Aces'.
June’s Reese’s Book Club Pick, A Pair of Aces , takes two women from different worlds, and brings them together to reveal the truth. The novel’s two authors, Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray, are doing the same thing in real life. This week, Danielle, Marie and Victoria get into the nuances of writing historical fiction, finding stories that no one else was willing to tell, and why women have always banded together - and been stronger for it.
