Charlotte McConaghy

Hello, I'm Brenda Allison, co-host of Poured Over and a bookseller at Barnes & Noble.

Today I am very excited to be in conversation with Charlotte McConaghy.

Charlotte is the New York Times bestselling author of Migrations, Once There Were Wolves, and Wild Dark Shore.

Wild Dark Shore is out in paperback now and it is the September BNN Fiction Monthly Pick.

It really did.

We are talking about Charlotte McConaghy's novel, Wild Dark Shore.

And just to set the stakes for you, we are looking at a story where a family is trapped on a shrinking Subantarctic island.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

It's as when an author doesn't quite trust the reader to understand the subtext.

So McConaughey will write this beautiful, evocative sentence showing exactly how devastated a character is through their actions.

Maybe the way they grip a cup or stare at the rising water.
