47. There is Confusion by Jessie Redmon Fauset and ambitious family stories that span generations

Today Chelsey and Sara are discussing There is Confusion by Jessie Redmon Fauset. We loved this Austen-like Harlem Renaissance novel, and we kept this episode spoiler free in the hopes that it'll encourage you to pick it up! Plus, as always, we're recommending six contemporary books to pair with our classic, with a mix of historical fiction and satire.
