Xenobe Purvis’s slim but powerful debut novel, “The Hounding,” is about five young sisters in 1700s England who are suspected of being able to transform into a pack of wild dogs. It is a gothic parable about male ego, cultural misogyny and the dangers of gossip run amok. On this week’s episode, host MJ Franklin discusses “The Hounding” with fellow Book Review editors Joumana Khatib, Emily Eakin and Gregory Cowles.
