Book Lust with Nancy Pearl episodes

In the last episode of Book Lust, Susan Straight talks with Nancy Pearl about "Sacrament," her novel about three women nurses fighting through the first year of COVID. Straight reflects on how the pandemic reshaped her storytelling and stirred memories of loss, caregiving, and resilience. She also revisits "In the Country of Women," exploring the generations of women—from her Swiss mother to her Mississippi-born mother-in-law—whose overlooked histories shaped her life and work.
