Sarah Blake

 Today on the podcast we're joined by bestselling novelist Sarah Blake for a conversation about family, secrets, money and the power of the past over the present. The bestselling author of The Postmistress returns with her dazzling new epic The Guest Book, a story of three generations of the Milton clan, a decision on one night in 1936 that reverberates down the decades, and a history that threatens to unravel the myths that have sustained them over the years. Sarah Blake joins Barnes & Noble's Miwa Messer in the studio to talk about her novel, her cast of compelling characters -- and the stories, real and imaginary, we use to hold families together.
