Finding a 'Storybook Ending' with Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times arts critic
Have you ever walked into a bookstore, lonely and single, and hoped you’d meet the love of your life?
We know there are at least a few of you out there.
That's part of the setup for Moira Macdonald’s debut novel “Storybook Ending.” It’s a story about loneliness, friendship, reading – and of course, the singular pleasure of spending time between the shelves of a cozy book shop in Seattle.
The spot in question, titled “Read the Room”, is based on Ravenna’s Third Place Books, one of Macdonald's regular haunts.
We talk to Macdonald, the longtime Seattle Times arts critic, about writing her novel, her recommendations for great summer reads and Seattle's best movie theaters.
Guest
Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times arts critic and debut novelist
