Ella and Jenna review “Killers of the Flower Moon”, a book so good it caused an hour-long episode.

This week, we read Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann.

This nonfiction novel follows the twisting, haunting true-life murder mystery about one of the most monstrous crimes in American history — the Osage Murders. 

Ella joins me on this episode to discuss: 

• Why we both gave the book 5 stars
• What we missed in the movie adaptation
• The pairing that kept applying to multiple aspects of our conversation 

Open your book and press play on a podcast episode that will have you discussing both the book and movie at length with your friends and family.

At Red Wine Reads, we want to engage in the stories of people from all kinds of backgrounds and experiences. The value of books lies in the power of storytelling and sharing a range of perspectives. We don't want to just read what we know, we want to read stories that open our worldview. And in turn, that means getting into challenging, rewarding conversations. But we are not experts in any field — literature, race relations, politics, etc .— and we know that our reviews of these books come from a place of privilege. We encourage our community of readers to add to these conversations with their own thoughts, critiques, and questions. We want to open up a safe place for people. That being said, we also realize that getting into race, sexuality, gender, and other difficult topics can be triggering. We aim to include content warnings whenever they are applicable but we are not perfect. So as we continue to do our best, know you have the room to tell us when we can do better and even, if you want to, share resources with us. Let's learn, grow, and have fun together.
