I just finished The Masterpiece! I was most impressed by your art knowledge. Were you an art history major?
Fiona Davis
Hi Lisa - thanks for asking! I took an art history class in college but majored in international relations (whatever that is)! I think, as a former journalist, I was able to do a lot of research on the subject, for example, reading biographies of Arshile Gorky and Lee Krasner, and really dive into the life of an artist in the 1920s. I'm so glad that came to life on the page, as it was the one thing I was worried about pulling off. Thrilled you enjoyed it!

Fiona Davis:
Hi Fiona! I've just recently discovered your books. I read The Address first and then immediately read The Masterpiece. I thoroughly enjoyed both of them. At a Literary Club meeting last week I told the members that if they loved NYC, historical fiction, and strong, interesting women they should read your books. Now they want me to tell about the books. Is there anything specific you'd like me to tell them?

Hello Fiona, I loved The Spectacular. Did I misread your notes or is it true that you have been diagnosed with Parkinson disease? I have returned the book to the library so not able to reread the passage in "Author Notes". I found Marion's comments about Simon at the end of the book very informative. Thank you for mentioning Michael J Fox's foundation. chouchette
