Storytime in Paris

Ep. 52 - Eva Stachniak, “The School of Mirrors”

Listen

Description

My guest this week is award-winning, #1 internationally bestselling author Eva Stachniak. Eva is known for her lovely, detailed works of historical fiction, and her latest novel, “The School of Mirrors” is a stunning book that nestles its characters into a rich and vivid world seeped in history.. Spanning the last half of the 18th century, her novel centers around two women, Veronique, a young girl brought to Versailles to be a courtesan to King Louis XV, and their illegitimate daughter, Marie-Louise. Only… Veronique is told the King is but a mere Polish Count, and her daughter is whisked away before ever knowing either parent.

In our conversation, Eva shares her insights on everything from the Deer Park girls to midwifery, the connections between mothers and daughters, creating an immersive narrative, and so much more. Then, she treats us to a reading from her book.

About Us
Since well before Victor Hugo looked up at Notre Dame and thought, "Huh... what if a hunchback lived in there?" authors have been inspired by Paris. The Storytime in Paris podcast will help keep this tradition alive with short interviews and readings from your favorite contemporary authors with a French connection.

Every episode will feature five questions, asked by you, our authors' biggest fans, and answered live on air. Then, our authors will treat us to a reading of an excerpt from their book. Who knows? Maybe you'll even be inspired to write your own Great French Novel. Happy listening!
