Bring on the DRAMA! It's the Gilded Edge

<p>“The Gilded Edge is a compelling read from start to finish. Gripping, suspenseful, cinematic. This is narrative nonfiction at its best.”—Lindsey Fitzharris, bestselling author of The Butchering Art &nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>No, it isn't fiction. But you will think it MUST be--sex, death, poetry, women's rights: &nbsp;Nora May French and Carrie Sterling arrive at Carmel-by-the-Sea at the turn of the twentieth century with dramatically different ambitions. Nora, a stunning, brilliant, impulsive writer in her early twenties, seeks artistic recognition and Bohemian refuge among the most celebrated counterculturalists of the era. Carrie, long-suffering wife of real estate developer George Sterling, wants the opposite: a semblance of the stability she thought her advantageous marriage would offer, threatened now that her philandering husband has taken to writing poetry. I bet you can see where this is going! &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>We are super excited that music for the show will be provided by our FAVORITE BAND! Charming Disaster! "Paris Green" comes from their newest endeavor: _Super Natural History_ music is available on all the major platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, etc.) but Bandcamp is the best (artist-friendliest) way to get it.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Episode was recorded live on February 9th, 2023.
