Meet the Author Book Club with Melanie Murphy: Discussing The Extraordinary Anna Parke

In this podcast episode of Meet the Author Book Club with Authors Alcove, host Agnes Wolfe introduces Melanie Murphy, the author of "The Extraordinary Anna Park," a novel of magical realism set in the Adirondacks. Co-hosts Dawn Marie Manning, Amber Letters, and Rebecca Mae Hartwell join in discussing their admiration for Melanie’s character development and handling of trauma, with Melanie sharing her background as a high school English teacher and the inspiration behind her book. She highlights the influence of Stephen King on her writing style and reveals plans for a book series themed around different elements. The discussion also explores the depth of Melanie's characters, particularly Anna's transformation and the open-ended aspects of the story that reflect real life's complexities, emphasizing the impact of a discovered article on deliberate neglect and its possible justification of Beverly's treatment of Anna.
