This week, I have a real scoop. My guest is author Amanda Bestor-Siegal, and her debut novel “The Caretakers” has already been named one of 2022's Most Anticipated Crime Fictions by Crime Reads. ”The Caretakers” is a deeply compelling and psychological read, told from the perspective of three French women and three American au pairs living just outside of Paris. It begins with a tragedy : the unexpected death of a small boy. The story that follows is as much about solving that mystery as it is about what makes a family, a home, a marriage, how we’re defined by others and how we define ourselves.
Amanda shares with us how her worst fear sparked the narrative, her inspiration from her time as an au pair, how she crafted such strong, individual characters, and so much more. Then, she treats us to a reading from “The Caretakers.”
