Episode description

New York Times bestselling author Fiona Davis has found her sweet spot writing historical fiction set in and around iconic New York City buildings. In a moment where she found herself without an idea for her next book, she received a perfectly timed email from a woman who offered to tell her all about Radio City Music Hall. Fiona joins Julie in this episode to share about The Spectacular, her research on the Rockettes, her decision to discuss Parkinson’s Disease within the novel, and the real-life inspiration for Marion, the main character of the book. Julie and Fiona also discuss one of the novel’s core questions that remains relevant for women today: What is the cost of suppressing your own individuality and creativity?
