Welcome to One Bright Book! Join our hosts Dorian, Rebecca, and Frances as they discuss THE HOUSE IN PARIS by Elizabeth Bowen, and chat about their current reading.

For our next episode, we will discuss FRAGMENTS OF A PARADISE by Jean Giono, translated from the French by Paul Eprile. This English language translation of Giono's "often over-looked seafaring tale," an "allegorical critique of modern civilization," will be released by Archipelago Books on November 5. We would love to have you consider reading this one, and join us for our conversation coming to you in late October.
