For the season finale of Book Swap, Liza and Cassandra explore why Shakespeare's stories continue to resonate centuries later as new remakes for the modern age. Their featured book is Dunbar by Edward St. Aubyn, a clever modern retelling of King Lear filled with family drama, power struggles, and corporate intrigue.
Along the way, they share favorite Shakespeare adaptations, recommend additional retellings, and discuss what makes these stories feel so timeless. Then Book Swap’s producer Taylor Hosking joins the conversation to share a few of her favorite reads and reflect on the books that help us navigate life's biggest challenges.
It's a fitting end to season one, packed with great recommendations and plenty of inspiration for your summer reading list.
