Sara Gruen’s historical romance about running away to join the circus was a bestseller for a reason, but does it connect with readers new to the genre? In episode 124, Luke & James ride the rails into parts unknown.
Spoilers begin: 19:10
Topics include: a NaNoWriMo success story, the “rules” of romances, emotional resonance with Jacob Jankowski, the tragedy of old age, what a bull hook is exactly, paranoia vs. understandable suspicion, a troubling scene with an odd tone, and whether or not Sara Gruen got the male experience right.
Join them next week for the film directed by Francis Lawrence
starring Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon, and Christoph
Waltz.
