Ep 207: The Candy House by Jennifer Egan

Anna and Annie discuss the 2022 Women’s Prize Shortlist.

Our book of the week is The Candy House by award-winning author Jennifer Egan. It is a sister novel to her Pulitzer-Prize winning A Visit from the Goon Squad and is set in a future where people upload their memories to the cloud. A Most Anticipated Book of 2022 and described as ‘thrilling’ (Kirkus); ‘fiction at its best’ (USA Today), ‘radiant’ (Slate) and ‘dazzling’ (Vogue), this is a wild ride of a novel.  Recommended.
