On this week's episode, Sara Nelson, Vice President and Executive Editor at Harper, interviews author—and former librarian—Sarah Shoemaker. They discuss Sarah's upcoming book Children of the Catastrophe—a deeply affecting family story of love and survival set amid the backdrop of the massacre of Greeks and Armenians after World War I.
"Children of Catastrophe is a mesmerizing story of love, of courage, of motherhood and of survival. Using vivid prose, Sarah Shoemaker immerses you in the lush and peaceful final years of a city that is invaded by the Turkish army with devastating consequences. It is a rich family saga that is heartening, tragic and, most of all, unforgettable."
—Shelly Sanders, bestselling author of Daughters of the Occupation
