I’m counting down the hours until the Wine Lovers Book Club meets to discuss With Love from the Inside (that would be 24, to be exact!). When any subset of the ladies see each other before book club, it’s so tempting to start discussing the book. But that is CHEATING.
Is it cheating to publish the Expansion Pack before book club? Hmmm….
Interview with Angela Pisel
You won’t get very far into the book before a sneaking suspicion will dawn that Pisel isn’t a fan of the death penalty. She talks about why in this interview with Blogcritics. As a bonus, she shares the main concept for her next project.
Characters Behind Bars
Pisel interviewed dozens of women prisoners in her attempt to capture the realities of prison life, but while the book includes some gritty scenes—like Grace’s strip searches—it seems fairly tame for a book featuring a death row inmate. Reading With Love from the Inside started me thinking about other books I’ve read with characters behind bars, like The Count of Monte Cristo and White Oleander. Both are worth a read!
What books have you read featuring incarcerated characters? Post in the comments!
