Goodreads asked Heather Nolan:

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

Heather Nolan The idea for This is Agatha Falling was largely inspired by the way memory is always just below the surface of our consciousness, showing through the cracks when invoked by our present surroundings. In this way memory continues to narrate our lives - but it is an unreliable narrator that doesn't always show the truth. There is the phenomenon of false memories that contradict actual events, then there are dreams which can feel so real that our brains trick us into remembering them as reality. There are daydreams. Illusions. Denials. Affirmations. Through all this, how are we ever to know what really happened?
