Goodreads asked Eleanor Watkins:

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

Eleanor Watkins I've always been interested in medieval history and especially the time of the Black Death. In The Village, I wanted to explore the way survivors coped when they'd lost family, home, work, everything, and how they found courage and hope to make a future.
