Mashreads Podcast

This week on the MashReads Podcast, we are joined by author Brit Bennett to discuss her new novel The Mothers. The novel begins with Nadia, a girl who, after the loss of her mother when she is 17, has a fling with the son of a paster, gets pregnant and decides to terminate the pregnancy. The novel then follows Nadia throughout her life, exploring how the repercussions of that decision effect not only her but also her community and her relationships in the future. Join us as we talk to Brit about The Mothers, finding success at a young age, writing about uncomfortable themes and wisdom in literature.
