Hélène asked Jo Baker:

Dear Jo, I've really enjoyed your book Longbourn. I've always liked books that show a different perspective of a well known story. This is why I was wondering if you'd ever consider doing another at one point? And maybe another question: what if you could choose any author to write the flipside story of any book. Which author and book would you choose and why? (Not necessarily the same author as the original)

Jo Baker Hello Helene! I have been offered a commission for a new version of an existing classic, and I am seriously considering it - because I get to choose the book. It's too early to talk about in any detail though.

If I could choose any, actually - Moby Dick from the whale's point of view. i think that whale is seriously misunderstood.
