Summary
Do you hear the podcast sing?/Singing the song of Hugo's book?/It is a book about some people who are sad and live in France!
It took us a while to finish Victor Hugo's classic novel Les Misérables, but that doesn't mean it wasn't worth it! Join us this week for a discussion of the book's inception and its lasting appeal.
Other talking points include zoo cuisine, D&D alignments and soul-crushing poverty. Uplifting, huh?
