Show Notes

Acclaimed author Courtney Maum’s latest, “Costalegre,” is the striking, heartbreaking and strange story of a privileged teenager who has everything a girl could wish for except for a mother who loves her back – heavily inspired by the real-life relationship between the heiress Peggy Guggenheim and her daughter.
