Welcome to Both Sides Bookclub and our very first episode for 2022. In this episode we chat with the author about her fabulous debut “Before I knew Your Name”, narrated by Alice, an 18 year old girl murdered and left beside the river. This beautifully written and genre defying story is as much an exploration of who the dead girl was as a who dunnit and will keep you turning the pages long into the night.
Our next book for February is "Cold Coast" by Robyn Mundy

Welcome to episode 26 and our One Year Anniversary. In this episode we discuss “The Lamplighters” by Emma Stonex. We talk about the romantic thrall that lighthouses hold us all in, versus the reality of working in such isolated circumstances and the impact that working away from home for long periods has on the family. We also discuss how the book gradually lets us piece together what happened to the missing keepers. #thelamplighters #emmastonexauthor #panmacmillanaus
