• Andrée De Jongh story led me to other stories of women who joined the Resistance in France. I found literally dozens of memoirs written by women who had become spies and couriers and helped to create the escape network. These women were like action-star heroes.

• There were others, women with stories that were told in a quieter voice: women who hid Jewish children in their homes, putting themselves directly in harm's way to save others. Too many of them paid a terrible, unimaginable price for their heroism. And like so many women in wartime, they were largely forgotten after the war's end.There were no parades for them, very few medals, and almost no mention in the history books.

• Al hacer la investigación, me encontré consumida por una única y abrumadora pregunta, tan relevante hoy como lo era hace setenta años: ¿Cuándo arriesgaría yo, como esposa y madre, mi vida -y, lo que es más importante, la de mi hijo- para salvar a un desconocido? Esta pregunta es el núcleo de El ruiseñor. Espero que todos los que lean la novela se hagan esa pregunta.

• Por supuesto, hay cientos de novelas y autores que me han influido. Pero por elegir tres, son: Stephen King/The Stand (y en realidad la mayoría de sus libros); Anne Rice/The Witching Hour; y Pat Conroy/The Prince of Tides. Estos autores escriben mi tipo favorito de libro: sentimiento épico, prosa magnífica, personajes únicos y un ritmo que te mantiene pasando las páginas. De ellos aprendí mucho sobre caracterización, ritmo, prosa, voz y originalidad.

• I am more than happy to invite my five favorite fictional characters. Let's see. First on my list is Sam Gamgee from The Lord of The Rings. Sam is a beautiful character; in him, we find the profound heroism of an ordinary person. He epitomizes the saying that courage isn't not being afraid, courage is going anyway. I just love that.
