I’d been debating a historical setting versus a secondary fantasy world, but the more I read into Paris of the revolution the more it felt like a fantastical world that really happened – a new calendar, a new currency, all social and political certainties up ended. I decided to set the trilogy at that point when I started looking further into the history. My first detailed encounter was through Hilary Mantel’s A Place of Greater Safety, which I first read when I was 22. It seems like one of those things that’s always been in my mental narrative of world history. I have absolutely no idea when I first learnt about the French revolution. A post shared by Katherine did you first learn about the French revolution and when did you first decide you would set your novels in that period?
