About Red Fern Book Review by Amy Mair

Find your book club picks and get your literary fix here. I lead bookish discussions with authors, friends and family minus the scheduling, wine, charcuterie board and the book you didn’t have time to finish. My tastes skew toward the literary but I can’t resist a good thriller or the must-read book of the season. If you like authors like Donna Tartt, Ann Patchett, Jonathan Franzen, Marie Benedict and Rachel Hawkins this podcast is for you.

   The Correspondent and Butter

   Send us Fan Mail The Red Fern Book Review is back! We begin with a look at the Japanese cult favourite Butter by Asako Yuzuki. It is a sharp, unsettling novel that explores appetite, obsession, and the cultural weight of food and femininity. We then turn to my personal favourite book of 2025, The Correspondent by Virginia Evans—a quietly powerful and deeply moving epistolary novel about connection, memory, and the surprising intimacy of written words. Also featured in this episode: The Phoeni...
