Penny Farley asked Helen Simonson:

Helen, I have, like previous letters to you have revealed, loved both your books and am already looking forward to your third, whenever that might be! But mainly I am writing to you because of a remark you made in an earlier interview....."I have an ever present longing for England." Yes?? I am an ex-pat of many years and I couldn't have said it better myself! Thank you! Happy Independence Day America!

Helen Simonson Happy 4th to you too, Penny. My second as a citizen. Having dual passports allows me the luxury of being thoroughly a New Yorker and Brooklynite while remaining so very connected to the Rye and England of my youth and family. We are both rich in countries Penny!
