Bonus Episode #5: Chatting with Allison Miriam Woodnutt (née Smith) from Smith & Taylor Classics

Welcome to One Bright Book! Dorian has abandoned Rebecca and Frances for the open expanses of Canada this month so the ladies decided to invite the sparkling Allison Miriam Woodnutt (née Smith) of Smith & Taylor Classics in to discuss this beautiful (relatively) new imprint and their most recent release of My Brilliant Career by Miles Franklin. Listen all the way to the end of this month's girl club episode to see if Dorian should have phoned in from Canada!

For our next episode, we will discuss Fierce Attachments by Vivian Gornick. We would love to have you read along with us, and join us for our conversation coming to you in late September.
