Why Women Might Want a Space of Their Own. | Book Talk for Advanced EnglishListening Practice.
It’s the final episode of Season 3—thank you for listening this season!
Today, I’m sharing a book that completely surprised me: The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim. I honestly don’t know how I hadn’t heard of it before, but I’m so glad I finally read it. It’s a charming read (just what I needed in recent months!)—but also sharp, funny, and quietly radical and subversive.
In this episode, I’ll share:
📚 A bit about the author’s fascinating and rather unconventional life
💐 A review of the book and why it’s more than just a sweet story set in Italy
🪞Some big questions about women, freedom, and what it means to carve out space for ourselves
Plus, a little sneak peek at what’s coming in Season 4—and a reminder that WILDE: The Listening Festival is now open for early bird registration! If you're into real conversations, women's voices, and the many Englishes of the world, this course might be your thing.
So let’s dive into this book talk episode - enjoy!
As always, I’ll note some useful advanced English language (C1/C2 Intermediate & Advanced English) along the way.
