Goodreads asked Jessica Dall:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Jessica Dall A lot of times I'm inspired by pictures, honestly. My fantasy series originally came from a picture of the Vatican Library. I thought the building was so lovely that I built an entire world around it. For the Broken Line series, it originally came from a painting by Frank Cowper. But then anything can spark off an idea, it's just if they end up going anywhere.
