How did you came up with the story of Anahita in "The midnight Rose"? I thought it was a brilliant novel..
Lucinda Riley
Hi Olga,
Apologies for the delay in my response. In answer to both your questions;
1) No, Rebecca and Violet were not related. It was just a complete coincidence.
2) I’ve always been fascinated by India. Its differing cultures and diverse landscapes. In fact, the entire country presents such a vivid, rich tapestry that it naturally provides the kind of colourful, exotic background I so adore writing about. Also I vaguely knew that my ancestors had been resident in India at the turn of the last century, although I knew nothing else about them when I began the book … It was my most ambitious story to date and when I started, I didn’t quite know what I was letting myself in for!

HI I am very big fan now for your 7 sisters, I keep reading, looking for more details. I just finished THE MOON SISTER, wonderful and I learn a lot about part of our planet that I had not idea. As i read your books on Kindle/ipad, I go to google map and I follow the travel of all your sisters, I learn a lot from real places you describe. I was wondering if I there is a way to revise why Pa Salt took them?
