Tracy Chevalier:
Hi Tracy! I have to say that I really liked all of your books. perhaps 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' being my favorite. I was wondering is 'Reader, I Married Him' a collection of Jane Eyre inspired modern stories, or is it entirely victorian? Thanks :)
Tracy Chevalier
Hello! Reader I Married Him is a collection of 21 short stories by contemporary authors, compiled by me. They're not Victorian themed. A few are related directly to Jane Eyre but otherwise they're all different in subject matter and theme, many with contemporary settings. The starting point was that the story should be in some way inspired by the famous line from Jane Eyre "Reader, I married him". Happy reading!

Tracy Chevalier:
I have read all of your books but for some reason it is Falling Angels that I keep going back to over and over again. To me it is the most complex and also the best of your works. What I found especially interesting is its portrayal of the suffrage movement. Most authors hold up the suffragettes as heroic icons. What led you to write a more negative story about women's suffrage?
