    Ep. 196: A.H. Kim on the Comfort Read Sense and Sensibility Fans Have Been Waiting For

    This week, A.H. Kim is here to discuss her enormously entertaining new novel Relative Strangers, a modern feminist spin on Sense and Sensibility featuring two half-Korean sisters and their ex-hippie mother, multiple messy love affairs and one explosive secret that could ruin everything.  
    This is one of the most delightful reading experiences I’ve had in ages. Relative Strangers feels so true to the spirit of the original, but utterly fresh as well.

Like listening to a friend on the other line

A Bookish Home is like a hug from a friend. I love listening to the host highlight the latest interesting reads. Her interviews are warm, fun and thoughtful. Even when I don’t read the books, I enjoy the conversations. I look forward to these episodes every week!

Loved this conversation

Thank you making me even prouder of my cousin who served in the Army. Keep the episodes coming

Poorly produced

While the content description caught my eye, I couldn't even make it through one episode because the sound quality was extremely grating. Sounds like the host is talking through a distant tin can.
