Whenever I write, I try and be as honest as I can about life as I know it—or can imagine it—and as honest as I can about the people who are living it on my pages. In Oh William! I was really interested in Lucy Barton looking at the life she had lived with her former husband William. I had side-stepped it in My Name is Lucy Barton, but I suddenly realized, Oh yes, there is a whole story here! In Anything is Possible we get glimpses into the people who knew Lucy when she was young, and all their observations came right back to me as I wrote Oh William!
