The Gypsy Moth Summer by Julia Fierro

Powered by prose at once enchanting and colloquial, true, vividly-realized characters, and a literary voice that practically reverberates with authority, Fierro’s The Gypsy Moth Summer may not only be this year’s best second novel, but its best book period. Featuring a complex plot, a many-faceted story brimming with insights into people and families at all stages of the life cycle, zoology, myth, and allegory this is the rare beach read that doubles as a novel of ideas.

Now playing on the Otherppl with Brad Listi podcast, a conversation with Julia Fierro. Her new novel, The Gypsy Moth Summer, is available now from St. Martin’s Press.

This is Julia’s second time on the program. She first appeared in Episode 292 on July 6, 2014.
