Goodreads asked Fran Hawthorne:

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Fran Hawthorne I'd want to travel into a historical novel and do what we are always warned not to do in science-fiction: Alter history. For instance, I could pop into Kate Atkinson's "Life after Life" and make sure that Ursula Todd actually manages to assassinate Hitler. Then I'd slip into the first half of Jonathan Coe's "Middle England" to nag Sophie, Benjamin, Doug, and the other leftist characters to get off their arses (well, I might as well talk British) and get everyone they know to vote No on Brexit.
