Episode 043: The Huntress
Download MP3Thanks for joining us! This month we are discussing The Huntress by Kate Quinn.
Welcome dear readers, you are listening to Time to Read, a Winnipeg Public Library podcast book club. We are recording today from various locations around Winnipeg, all within Treaty One Territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree and Dakota as well as the Birthplace of the Métis Nation and the heart of the Métis Homeland. Our drinking water comes from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation in Treaty Three territory.
Set in the years following World War II (and with a large number of flashbacks to the war itself), The Huntress tells the story of a ruthless Nazi murderess who escapes to the United States in the wake of the war and the individuals, including Nina: an ex-Soviet bomber pilot, Jordan: a young aspiring photographer, Ian: an English war journalist turned Nazi Hunter, and Tony: a former soldier and Ian’s assistant, who take it upon themselves to bring them to justice.

Creators and Guests
Host
Dennis Penner
Dennis works in the ideaMILL and while he prefers mysteries and non-fiction, he’s open to reading almost anything. He’s also the editor/producer, so he can edit the show to make himself sound smarter than he really is.
Host
Toby Cygman
Toby is an Outreach Librarian and recovering book snob. She mostly reads literary fiction but has been known to dabble in non-fiction and the genres.
Host
Trevor Lockhart
Trevor is the Branch Head of the Louis Riel library. He tends to be a slow reader but a fast talker, so it all evens out.
