#175 – The Golden Cage by Camilla Läckberg (with Andy of Fat Dude Digs Flicks Movie Podcasts)

2 Cents Critic

Tune in as Andy (Fat Dude Digs Flicks Movie Podcasts) hops back onto the podcast for a review and recap of the 2019 revenge thriller novel The Golden Cage by Camilla Läckberg, which follows a housewife who’s stuck in a loveless marriage and ends up embarking on a quest of ruthless retribution against the patriarchal forces that have been oppressing her for far too long. The ways in which this outwardly sexy book hits you with all its surprisingly depressing weight, the rootability of the ferocious and enigmatic Faye, and the pitfalls of being too polite make up some of the talking points for this episode.
