Charlotte Wood “Stone Yard Devotional”

“Mice — whatever it means to you.“   Chatter rolls with Claude, David, Jamie, and Torie.  They break down the CAPs resurgence and a great 2018 moment — off the ice and in the water.  They debate what’s behind the  resurgence of brick and mortar book stores.   Award winning author Charlotte Wood zooms in from down under to share “Stone Yard Devotional.”  Released in Australia in 2023 and a Booker Prize finalist in ’24, Wood tells the story of a disillusioned conservationist who moves into a convent.  Beautifully spare, it’s “extraordinary” as WashPost critic Ron Charles said.  And it makes you work — a good thing!
