A Goodreads user asked Chris Bohjalian:

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed The Guest Room and just wondering where in the world you came up with the idea behind The Guest Room?

Chris Bohjalian Hello, Morgan,

Thanks so much for your kind words about "The Guest Room." I appreciate it immensely.

The book had its origins in Armenia in 2013. Here is an article that the terrific Boston Globe writer, Kate Tuttle, wrote about the novel's roots.

Let me know if you want to know more.

Thanks again.

Fingers crossed my work never disappoints you.

All the best,

Chris B.
