Bonus: Historical Fiction with Rebecca Stott

Julia and Victoria explore the Dark Ages with writer, historian, and former professor Rebecca Stott. They discuss Rebecca’s new book Dark Earth: about two sisters who run away to a ruined Roman city in 6th century Britain. They talk genre, archaeology, breaking boundaries, and Julia gets very excited about swords.
