New York Times bestselling author Georgia Hunter returns to the podcast to discuss ONE GOOD THING, a stunning and deeply meaningful story of hardship and hope that follows one young woman’s journey through war-torn Italy during the Holocaust. Georgia reflects on her connection to Italy, her family’s history, and the extensive research that shaped this novel—including a trip through the towns where her story unfolds. She also touches on the novel’s themes of friendship and resilience, the impossible choices made in times of war, and the emotional weight of writing about the past.
