Kaliane Bradley, author of The Ministry of Time, joins us to celebrate her debut novel! We talked about how she fell in love with Graham Gore, what she would be "excited" to experience if she could go back to the Victorian Era, and her modern tech pet peeves. 
A government ministry is gathering “expats” from across history to establish whether time travel is feasible. She is tasked with working as a “bridge:” living with, assisting, and monitoring Commander Graham Gore, from 1847. Over the next year, what the bridge initially thought would be a horrifically uncomfortable roommate dynamic, evolves into something much deeper.

On this week's episode, we sit down with Rachel Khong to discuss her new novel, Real Americans. We had so much fun asking the big questions like, “what do we inherit from our families and their histories,” and what it means to be a “real American.”
Real Americans begins on the precipice of Y2K in New York City when Lily Chen meets Matthew. Matthew is everything Lily is not, but despite the differences, they fall in love. In 2021, fifteen-year-old Nick Chen has never felt like he belonged on the isolated island where he lives with his single mother, Lily. Real Americans is a story of trust, forgiveness, and finally coming home.
