E203: Downton Abbey Readalikes with Moorea Corrigan

About this episode

Agatha Andrews interviews Moorea Corrigan about Downton Abbey readalikes and her book Thistlemarsh.

I’m particularly excited because today I welcome Moorea Coorigan to the show to chat about Downton Abbey Readalikes. Her book, Thistlemarsh, is a historical fantasy that takes place in the aftermath of WWI. She’s really well read on this historical period, as you’ll see in the show, and we had an absolute blast talking about how the books we picked connect to one of our favorite comfort shows.
