Episode description
“I'm not here to tell the story. I'm here to find the story…”
Cristina Henríquez’s new novel, The Great Divide is a deeply meaningful, character-driven narrative that brings momentous history to new life. Henríquez joins us to talk about writing historical fiction, her family’s connection to the story, her influences and more with Miwa Messer, host of Poured Over. We end this episode with TBR Topoff recommendations from Mary and Jamie.
This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.
