Pond (and Yesteryear)
About this episode
Sarah and Cynthia discuss the novels 'Pond' and 'Yesteryear' while sharing a refreshing cocktail recipe for summer reading.
In this episode of The Reading Lounge, Sarah and Cynthiadiscuss Pond by Claire-Louise Bennett. Pond is a spare novel that weaves together vignettes of a woman’s isolated life in coastal Ireland. It is one of the most unique reads we’ve picked up this year. We also read one of the most talked about new books thisyear: Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. We have thoughts on this page turner! To go along with the longer days of summer and (hopefully)more reading time, we have a refreshing cocktail to accompany your next great read. The Trembling Moonrise 1 ¼ oz botanical gin ½ oz dry vermouth ½ oz elderflower liquor ¼ oz fresh lemon juice Mix these ingredients in a shaker with ice. Pour into a glassover muddled cucumber and mint. Top with 1 oz of prosecco. Summer in a glass! Enjoy!
