In this interview, I chat with Judithe Little about Glorious Ruins, why she wanted to tell Misia Sert's story, why she enjoys telling the stories of those who surrounded Coco Chanel, her research, how frequently women are left out of the historical record, what she wants readers to take away from this book, and much more.
Judithe's recommended reads are:
The Wedding People by Alison Espach
Finding Grace by Loretta Rothschild
Beach House Rules by Kristy Woodson Harvey
Judithe's Page Turners Q & A and my September Buzz Reads picks.
