Summary
Award-winning journalist Brooke Lea Foster returns to the podcast, this time to discuss ALL THE SUMMERS IN BETWEEN, a breathtaking dual-timeline novel that is at once a mesmerizing portrait of a complex friendship, a delicious glimpse into a bygone Hamptons, and a powerful coming-of-age for two young women who don’t speak for a decade after a devastating night. Brooke delves into her female protagonists, touching on self-esteem, self-identity, and the tension between family and personal ambitions. She and Zibby also talk about writing historical fiction and all the nostalgic details in the story (remember record stores?).
