This episode, we are joined by Flora Carr, debut author of "The Tower," as she shares the only five books she would take with her when cast away to her mysterious remote location—a rainy hut overlooking the sea. Her list is packed with stories exploring obscure niches in the historical tales we all think we know. Spanning unfamiliar gems and prize-winning favourites, this list is not to be missed for lovers of historical fiction, adventure, mystery, and heartfelt stories.

"The Tower" itself is a stunning debut that delves into Mary Queen of Scots' year of imprisonment in the water-bound fortress of Lochleven Castle. An atmospheric read exploring the depths and nuances of female friendship, rivalry, and love, "The Tower" is an absolute must-read of 2024 and is set to be released on March 7th.
