Katmarch asked Katherine Reay:

In Dear Mr. Knightly you referenced a book (The Food of Love)-can you tell me the author? Would you consider making a list of books that you mention/quote in your writing?

Katherine Reay Hi! The Food of Love is by Italian writer Anthony Capella. I enjoyed it so much I asked him to endorse A Portrait of Emily Price, my story set in Italy. It's such a good idea -- to list all the books. A blogger once did it for The Bronte Plot, and listed 51 books. I included such a list in the back of The Printed Letter Bookshop. I believe there are over 60 listed. As for Dear Mr. Knightley -- I haven't done that yet... It would be a fun exercise one day.

Thanks for reaching out.
