Goodreads asked Piers Moore Ede:

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

Piers Moore Ede While writing Honey and Dust, I visited India - and Varanasi - for the first time. The moment the Kashi Vishwanath Express dropped me off in the Holy City I felt a deep sense that something momentous was happening. The city overwhelmed me, it touched me, it enthralled me. At that time, although it took me a while to realise it, the germ of an idea to write about the city was already forming.
