On this episode of Book Off, Joe welcomes Elif Shafak and Evie Wyld to the studio.
These two fabulous writers talk about their latest novels ("There Are Rivers In The Sky" and "The Echoes") as well as giving us some brilliant reading recommendations.
Evie lived in a haunted house, so we explore that and her fascination with ghosts - which are a central theme in her new book. She also discusses the importance of humour to lighten situations, whether that be in life or between the pages of a book.
Elif and Joe share their love of water. She talks about the power of water and how a single drop is the thread that runs through her new novel - and indeed through centuries and centuries.
They also chat about the importance of aural storytelling, of keeping traditions alive and ensuring that people's stories are heard all over the world.
