The Big Books of Summer 2025
Corina
Corina asked Deborah Harkness:

What inspired the book Ashmole 782? Have you ever encountered, in your research, a book that brought you that kind of response (not magical, but a shiver down your spine kind of reaction)?

Deborah Harkness yes. When I found a "lost" magical book that once belonged to John Dee in Oxford's Bodleian Library! I shivered because I thought I was dreaming!

April Rogers asked Deborah Harkness:

As a history instructor I found the All Souls Trilogy to be captivating. The historical people and events that are interweaved in the story are magnificent. I found myself looking up people and events I was unsure of. How did you go about choosing who and what from history to include in your novels?

Renee Hickman
Renee Hickman asked Deborah Harkness:

Like so many of your fans, I'm fascinated by your research and all the hidden historical references (or Easter eggs) you sprinkled throughout the trilogy. Did you write with them in mind or did you add them later?

Jennifer
Jennifer asked Deborah Harkness:

Do you have any other "Fictional" (because we all know Matthew's real) books in your head on other characters/topics or the like waiting to come out, or do you think you're done with Fiction now that the Trilogy is written?
