In this interview, I chat with Robin Oliveira about A Wild and Heavenly Place, how she set out to write an epic love story, creating a strong sense of place, her title and cover, understanding her characters' motivations, shipbuilding and coal mining, and much more.
Robin's recommended reads are:
- The General and Julia by Jon Clinch
- The Voyage of the Narwal by Andrea Barrett
- On the Way to the End of the World by Adrianne Harun
- The Poldark series by Winston Graham
