Description
My guest this week is award-winning author Cate Green, whose novel “The Curious Kidnapping of Nora W.” won 2019’s Exeter Novel Prize. “The Curious Kidnapping of Nora W.” focuses on the final 18 days, not of Nora’s life, but before she breaks the world record for being the oldest person in history, at 122 years and 165 days old. But strong-willed Nora is not your average centarian and, as she disappears from her retirement home, she, and her family, embark on an adventure down memory lane. https://twitter.com/saracategreen https://www.instagram.com/categreenwrites/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091512090080 Join our Book Club: patreon.com/parisundergroundradio Find Us Online Website: https://www.parisundergroundradio.com/storytimeinparis Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/ Credits Host and Producer: Jennifer Geraghty.

The Storytime in Paris podcast will help keep this tradition alive with short interviews and readings from your favorite contemporary authors with a French connection. Every episode will feature five questions, asked by you, our authors' biggest fans, and answered live on air. Then, our authors will treat us to a reading of an excerpt from their book. Who knows? Maybe you'll even be inspired to write your own Great French Novel. Happy listening!
