Jean Kwok on THE LEFTOVER WOMAN
\u201cI want people to read it with joy, just for the story. But I do hope that they'll pick up something else along the way about \u2026 deeper things.\u201d
The Leftover Woman by Jean Kwok finds two women on incredibly different paths in life in collision as they grapple with issues of culture, class and motherhood. Kwok joins us to talk about how she started a career in writing, the importance and language and cultural identity, how books open doors to learning and growth and more with Miwa Messer, host of Poured Over. We end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Madyson and Mary.\u202f\u202f\xa0
