The Book Review · Book Club: Let's Talk About 'Yesteryear,' by Caro Claire Burke · 26 Jun 2026 podcast
That's who she is as a person.
If you're making this commentary about religion...
Totally go there and dig in.
And I felt like I could feel her making concessions, which I found frustrating as a novel.
But then also, have you listened to her podcast at all?
She has a podcast called Diabolical Lies.
No, I haven't.
I dipped in for research for this book club, and she is so smart and so pointed.
That's why I said earlier, novel writing is hard.
It's a different skill set.
She has all of those ideas, and she's articulated all of these ideas in a different form.
How do you translate them into the vehicle of a novel?
That's tricky.
Can you explain this a little bit more?
I want to hear more, but first, I think we should take a quick break.
And we're back.
This is The Book Review.
I'm MJ Franklin.
I'm with Ajumana Khatib and Jen Harlan, and we're chatting about Yesteryear by Carol Claire Burke.
Before we jump back to our conversation, I just wanted to read off some thoughts from our book club community about the novel.
