Hello, Mr. Montefiore: Sorry for this long intro:: I just published the sixth of a series, set in a village in Tuscany, that follows characters from WWII to 2000. I often felt the characters were inside my head and writing their stories. Now I can't get rid of them. So my question is: Do you still think a lot about the people in "One Night in Winter" and "Sashenka" and all the others? How does an author let go?

Hi Mr. Montefiore! When there are tons of other books being published about the same historical topics, how do you single yourself out to be different from all of the others? Because believe me, I love everything there is about history and I've read a few of your books and they are amazing! Reading about historic times and events are so fascinating and I just want to know what makes your books unique? Thank you!
