Christina, I just finished reading A Piece of the World and I found it completely engrossing. It really was a wonderful read. Where did your interest in Christina come from?
Christina Baker Kline
Hi Barbara, Thanks for reaching out. I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed A PIECE OF THE WORLD. I was always drawn to the painting, perhaps because my name, my mother's name, and my grandmother's name--Christina. I grew up in Maine, near where the painting was created. On top of a familiarity with the setting, my grandmother grew up at the same time as the Christina in the painting and there were quite a few similarities in their lives. I discuss more of my interest in the painting and Christina in this interview: http://www.hectv.org/watch/maryville-... (skip to 10:00 to hear about A PIECE OF THE WORLD).
