Bitsweet is about the way that joy and sorrow in this life must forever be paired. The author first encountered this state of yearning through music, she says. She thinks we're increasing the taking on the 'you have to be up and happy all the time thing'
Susan Cain’s groundbreaking book, Quiet, taught a generation of readers to perceive and value their introvert qualities. Her latest book, Bittersweet is a song to the complex space between happiness and sadness. In this episode, Katherine talks to Susan about how she came to move so comfortably in the understated parts of life, and why the minor key is so beautiful.
While we’ve been away, The Wintering Sessions have been undergoing a metamorphosis. Katherine talks us through the process of becoming How We Live Now, and offers us a peek at the season to come.
