Dorothy Ellen Palmer talks to the CBC Book Club

Throughout March, the CBC Book Club is talking Words & Music, talking to authors about how music affects their writing process.

On March 18, 2011, the CBC Book Club talked to Dorothy Ellen Palmer about the importance of music to her debut novel, When Fenelon Falls. The interview pays special attention to the research Palmer put into generating the playlist for When Fenelon Falls, why she chose the songs she did and why the music of the summer of 1969 was, and remains, so important.
