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 so hard to wait. Even for me, I know how this book ends. I've read it lots and lots of times, but it's so hard for me to wait for

these episodes to come out so that I know what you're thinking about them. That's my favorite

part of this, is that you guys are experiencing this book for the first time, and I get to

experience that through you. So thank you. Thank you for writing in. Thank you for posting on

social media. Thank you for being a part of the drawing room, those of you are. Thank you for writing in. Thank you for posting on social media.

Thank you for being a part of the drawing room. Those of you are.

Thank you for being a part of this show in all the ways that you are because it is bringing me such joy.

And I hope that some of that joy is finding its way to you as well. Speaking of the drawing room tonight, Thursday, March 27th, is our tea time

for March. It is at 8 p.m. Eastern and you need to be a member of the landed gentry membership tier

in order to participate. What it is is it's like a kind of group phone call. It's a chat that we

have together for about an hour or so. We talk about the book. We talk about other things. And we have

a lovely time. It's really great. We're all kind of getting to know each other there. There's

room for more. So if you would like to join us, just scroll down into the show notes, into the

description of this episode, wherever you're listening. And there is a link there. It says,
