I really enjoyed hearing his interview. He states he got the idea for the novel from traveling so much and constantly seeing the same type of people in hotels. It's a very unique idea.
He also stated he wanted to set it in early 20th century so it's a time period people can relate to but not remember.
Flagging a post will send it to the Goodreads Customer Care team for review.
