Goodreads asked Susan Rooke:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Susan Rooke Some years ago I’d given myself a deadline for starting a novel, determined to follow through. I was closing in on my start date, with no idea for a plot, when the words “A young woman is taken by faeries” came into my head. A few days later I was on the treadmill, reading a fascinating book describing all the physical abnormalities that scientists have documented in human beings. It hit me then that the faery tribe who kidnap the young woman have imposed just such challenges on themselves because of guilt over an ancient sin committed by their ancestors. I began writing and The Space Between grew from there.
