Roxane Dhand
Like all my historical novels, the idea for my current book (title tbc!) came from a tiny detail I stumbled upon that sparked a question: "what if?" This time, the spark was a true story I came across about events that took place in Poland during the Nazi occupation.
My research for this book was more personal than usual. I traveled to Krakow for a three-day research trip to put some color on my blank canvas and see what the city actually looked like. Every scene in this novel is based on real events and personal accounts, so I wanted to make sure I could ground the story in a vivid and accurate sense of place. It's a powerful story that I felt compelled to tell.
