In 2021, the British Library Women Writers Series published an edition of Dorothy Evelyn’s Smith’s quietly joyful and sometimes dark coming-of-age novel, O, the Brave Music. Joining us is the series consultant and author of the book’s afterword, Dr. Simon Thomas. Sometimes compared to A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and I Capture the Castle, O, the Brave Music is set before the first world war and has a female narrator looking back on her childhood as a minister’s daughter on England’s moors. For episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.com Follow us on instagram @lostladiesoflit.
