"Research. I read books, read Pravda, interviewed lots of Russians, went to university professors who were specialists in Soviet Russia, looked
at maps and timetables. What do people do when they write historical novels? Research. Basic to all such books is the belief that human nature
remains constant, that people change because of their circumstances and location, in addition to their time in history. The trick is to get
the background right, create the characters and understand what they are doing in the context of their environment."

“The books transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives. She went on olden-day sailing ships with Joseph Conrad. She went to Africa with Ernest Hemingway and to India with Rudyard Kipling. She travelled all over the world while sitting in her little room in an English village.”
