Hello and welcome to Story Time for Grownups. I'm Faith Moore, and this season we're reading

The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins. Each episode, I'll read a few chapters from the book,

pausing from time to time to give brief explanations, so it's easier to follow along. It's like an

audiobook with built-in notes.

So brew a pot of tea, find a cozy chair, and settle in.

It's story time. Oh my goodness. What the heck, right? Wow. Okay, we have a lot to talk about. That last chapter was

and we just kind of wrap things up a little bit and we do that at the end of each book just

to make sure that we don't leave you hanging. So we will have one more episode where there aren't

chapters but we do discuss the end of the

book together. And then, and this is kind of what I wanted to just alert you about, I've mentioned

this a couple of times. And if you were with us last summer, you know. But what happens then is that

we move into something called summer session. So that's what I just wanted to let you know about,
