Big Book Guys: The Housemaid with Freida...

PodcastOne
About this episode

The Big Book Guys recently held their third discussion via Zoom last week, and not to toot our own horn, but this might just be the coolest book club out there. Delicious wine, Bailey’s harmonica playing, AND the author of the book – it doesn’t get better than that! The BBGs are thrilled to have Freida McFadden join them for a discussion about her book, 'The Housemaid.' If you haven’t read it yet, now is the time. It's a real page-turner! Freida dives into how she developed the characters, the inspiration behind the storyline, and even how she got her family’s input for mild torture ideas. Now, that’s some family bonding. She also explains how she balances her day job with writing and how being a practicing physician specializing in brain injury has inspired some of her novels. To wrap up, a few book club members ask their questions after reading the book and to top it all off, Freida announces some exciting news about the third book.

Join the Book Club on Fable and follow Off The Vine Podcast on Instagram to keep up with all of our book club fun. We will be announcing the next book soon!
