Ann Sumner asked Sofía Segovia:

Dear Wonderful Writer, what was your inspiration for writing such a fantastic novel? I immersed myself in it and I adored each word and character. Thank you for writing it!

Sofía Segovia Hello, Ann! Thank you for reading and letting yourself be transported in time and space. As for my inspiration, first and foremost MEMORY —or actually, the lack thereof. Francisco (as an old man) is the symbol for the selective and collective amnesia of Monterrey. I think it's important to remember who we are, where we come from and whom we left behind

Hola Sofia, me gustó mucho El murmullo de las abejas, me quedó la curiosidad de saber: por qué la edición de penguin impresa en 2024 no tiene la fábula de la tierra de las luces?

Valorie Broadhurst asked Sofía Segovia:

Dear Sofia, I so enjoyed "The Murmur of Bees," which I just finished and have assigned this month to the members of my book club in Dubuque, Iowa, USA. I had been looking forward to reading this book for several months and I found it to be as rich and gorgeous a story as I'd hoped. My question is this: Do you feel there are Simonopios in the world--special individuals whose senses pick up what others do not? Thanks!
