My friend and I are obsessed with your book Revolution. I found it beyond incredible. It was the best book I have read in such a long time. I have looked for an answer to this but I can not find it. What inspired revolution? My friend and I have been looking up characters such as Alexandrine Paradis and Amadé Malherbeau for closure to see if there was much truth behind this brilliant story. Big fan <3

I'm glad Revolution spoke to you! I certainly hope there's truth behind the story -- but I'm afraid you're not going to find much in the history books about Alex and Amade!
As for the inspiration, well, that's a long story. I wrote about it here: http://www.jenniferdonnelly.com/rev_i...

I love the WaterFire Saga and I have a little question for you! (Two, actually). Thanks for replying in advance! 1) How do you think Neela felt when she knew that her cousin was a "party merman" and would break Sera's heart? 2) How do you think Lucia will react if Madhi told her that he was actually in love with Sera?
