Daniellehullreads asked Katherine Reay:

Where was your first trip for book research? Who went with you?

Katherine Reay I love this question as I take "trips" for all my books. My first classic trip was to Italy for A PORTRAIT OF EMILY PRICE, and during that visited I was given access to the Vatican Restoration Labs. That was an EXTRAORDINARY experience. In books prior to that one, I'd lived in all my settings-- Chicago, London, Seattle, and Atlanta. That said, although I have lived in London, I return there often for new insights for each book I place there.

My favorite trip? Probably Berlin for THE BERLIN LETTERS. That trip dynamically changed that book and give it a pace and a life that surprised and thrilled me.

Thanks for asking!

Minnesinger asked Katherine Reay:

In THE BERLIN LETTERS, is Luisa’s surname Voekler or Voelker? The publisher synopsis on GoodReads spells it the first way, which I believe is a typo. Just wanted to give you a head’s-up, since I cannot correct it myself (no longer a GR librarian). I can’t wait to read THE BERLIN LETTERS! I’ve loved all your books so far, but was especially impressed by your last book. Thanks so much!

I am really loving The English Masterpiece. So different I feel like from the others. With each new book you write do you find yourself to drawn more to certain ones or do you love them all the same?
