    The newest literary drama from the author of Room takes listeners on a trip to the French Riviera. Host Jo Reed and editor Robin Whitten chat about the appeal of listening to unlikely traveling companions Noah—a 79-year-old retired professor—and Michael, his 11-year-old grand nephew he barely knows.
