I was able to attend a book talk/signing by the author in St. Peters, Missouri. It was interesting to hear more about how she developed the story and her plans for future writing projects. One person asked her how she goes about writing a book like this from the various different perspectives, i.e., does she write them as we read it, or does she write Vivien's story and then write Adelaide's story. She said she writes the story as we read it since she herself doesn't always know exactly how the story will end up. I would recommend this book to book clubs and anyone who enjoys historical fiction.
