Yay! We'll miss you in October, but I totally get it - life is so busy! We'll be recording the live videos, so you'll be able to watch the discussion later if you'd like. And if I can figure out the tech, haha. ;)

Oh dear Kristin--how lovely! I'll be out of town for the October Zoom but will plan on making the November virtual gathering. I'm glad the audiobook is available on Spotify--that totally works. Thank you again for being a voice of recalibration in this overstuffed, busy world.

This is so exciting! I just purchased this book in late August. How exciting about hearing from the author herself!

This read looks AMAZING! I’ve read quite a bit of Oxford/Cambridge scholarship on the liturgy but mostly of the very dry academic sort. seems quite a fitting complement to Katherine May’s “wintering” which I read last year. Fyi to other cash-strapped readers the audiobook is also on Spotify premium!

Carolyn, you'll LOVE this book! Eleanor is so skilled at making history come alive and really distilling her vast knowledge into something so approachable and lyrical. Have you heard her interview on the Risking Enchantment podcast?

Such delight ahead of us. I am glad to be discussing it with you and the rest of your subscribers as you mostly live in the Northern hemisphere and this informs the reading of the book. I have read it once before but not with your specific liturgical/rural season perspective. Oh, the extra chats and the author herself!!! JOY!
