Episode 20: Magic for Marigold by L. M. Montgomery with Calandra Lindstadt
In this episode, Dear Listeners, Calandra Lindstadt takes us to Prince Edward Island and lost centuries with L.M. Montgomery’s Magic for Marigold. It’s a dreamy conversation, with musings on the beauty and challenge of generations of family living close to one another, the joy of a sassy, judgey grandmother, the gift of independence, the power that can be found in surrendering to a good death. But please, don’t mention any Anne of Green Gables adaptations other than the 1985 CBC and PBS version, and don’t call us late for dinner.
