It’s week eight of the “Art in Historical Fiction Interview Series”, with one more author interview to debut on the Historical Novel Society website. This week’s feature author is Cathy Marie Buchanan of the bestseller The Painted Girls. It is a story of struggle, sisterhood, art of Degas, and the Paris Opéra. Buchanan has brought to life the unexposed shadows of the glittering grand Belle Époque era in Paris, exposing a tarnished world hidden behind glamorous stages and exquisite works of art.
