In Imogen Crimp’s A Very Nice Girl: A Novel, Anna unexpectedly wins a place at the London Conservatory. Max, a man she meets in the bar where she sings, is everything she’s not: rich, tailored to precision, impossible to read. Soon, her infatuation with him starts to turn her away from her career – and she starts to lose sight of who she is and what she wants, completely. Joining to moderate is Julie Chan, creator and host of the podcast Beyond the Book With Julie.
