We have periodically sold to French restaurants.Ī. People seem to sniff you out and beg you to sell them truffles. Truffles are one of those things that doesn’t require farming and harvesting to grow, because you’re just planting trees and keeping the trees alive.Ī.
We have snow, and we have a truffle farm. I live in the Snowy Mountains, which is probably the coolest part of Australia, in terms of temperature. Is it true you live on a truffle farm? What’s that like?Ī. And he’d send me back a critique and then I’d write the critique into Leo’s letters. I did send the manuscript to him to see what he thought. I was having this correspondence with Larry at the same time. I just sit down to write, it’s just how the story unfolded.
I don’t know that we have ceilings like that in Australia. That ceiling! I opened with that ceiling because that was just wow - when I saw it. What were some of the details of the BPL that captivated you?Ī. Inside the Boston Public Library's Reading Room. It’s talking about how people react to their environment and how they feel about it. But sometimes that can actually be inhibiting, because part of writing is talking about things that people don’t see. The wonderful thing now is that you can look on Google and see things in a way that I suppose writers of generations past couldn’t.
Were you doing a lot of online research in addition to correspondence?Ī. Larry was researching at the Boston Public Library, and he’d been rabbiting on to me about how beautiful it was. Well, I’m glad to hear that he’s not actually a murderer.Ī. My husband was standing behind me, and he said, ‘I hope Larry’s not killing people to send you research.’ And he wasn’t, but it was a very good idea for a story. I opened up the video file here in Australia. He took footage - after the body had been removed - and sent it to me.Ī. He said he thought it would be useful for me to know what coroner’s vans and crime scene tape looks like in America. And then one day there was a murder! It was a couple of blocks from where Larry was staying.
That explains the level of detail in the letters in the book.Ī.
