Books and the City

AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Fiona Davis

06 Aug 2020

Description

If you’ve listened to even one episode of Books and the City, then you’ll probably know that not one but two of our hosts are HUGE historical fiction fans. So suffice it to say that Becky and Kayla were beyond excited to speak with the “reigning queen of New York City historical fiction,” Fiona Davis! Fiona talks to us about where she gets inspiration for her many NYC-based books, which often center on historical landmarks and famous buildings in the City. The girls also get Fiona’s take on the unexpected timeliness of The Lions of Fifth Avenue, her differing research process for the book’s characters vs. its setting, and how Fiona’s past as a Broadway actress has impacted her writing. Please enjoy this fantastically rich author interview that will definitely have you missing some of these quintessential New York haunts during our strange quarantine times. As always, buy links are below! And please feel free to drop us a line about this interview, Fiona’s books, or anything else you'd like to tell us at [email protected]. ------------------------ The Lions of Fifth Avenue by Fiona Davis: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/600309/the-lions-of-fifth-avenue-by-fiona-davis/ Attend one of Fiona Davis’s virtual events!: http://www.fionadavis.net/events-1 Fiona Davis is reading: The Two Mrs. Carlyles by Suzanne Rindell Up Next for Fiona: The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett
