Sherril

Sherril asked Tracy Chevalier:

Big fan here. I’ve read all of your books and I look forward to The Glass Maker. Would you consider delving into the world of a little known Jewish Scientist named Rosalind Elsie Franklin (1920-1958)? She was an influential British physical chemist and X-Ray crystallographer whose work was central to the understanding of the molecular structures of DNA. In the end she was overshadowed by men who got the Nobel Prize.

Tracy Chevalier Thank you, Sherril! I know about Rosalind Franklin - she is finally emerging from the shadows of Crick and Watson. I feel like someone has already written a novel about her, but not sure who! And definitely there are biographies. But I will keep your suggestion in mind!

Hope Jahren

Hope Jahren asked Tracy Chevalier:

My favorite line in GWAPE was this: "Years of hauling water, wringing out clothes, scrubbing floors, emptying chamberpots, with no chance of beauty of color or light in my life, stretched out before me like a landscape of flat land where, a long way off, the sea is visible but can never be reached." Can you tell me how it came to you?

Autumn Doerr asked Tracy Chevalier:

I hope they are making a movie version of "Remarkable Creatures." I love stories of friendship and this is one of my favorites. This book glistened on the page. Thank you. (Oh, I need to include a question mark so here it is?)
