Kharkhar asked Elizabeth O'Roark:

Is Saint Antoine based on a real town or village? I’ve tried searching for it on maps between Paris and Reims but wasn’t able to locate anything. If it’s fictional, where would it have been located?

Elizabeth O'Roark Such a good question (and sorry I'm just seeing it now)!! I actually placed the book in Reims when I wrote it, but then I discovered Reims was a pretty large city even back in the 30s, so it wouldn't have the small town feel I needed for the book, and many smaller towns were still destroyed from WWI. Therefore, St. Antoine was created, but you've got the general location right :-)
