Ariel Lawhon likes a good puzzle. She likes a mystery that she can research and research and research, and then artistically retell the story to readers. Her first book explored the unsolved mystery of a justice who disappeared in New York in the 1930s. Her second book explored the conspiracy surrounding the Hindenburg disaster. And now her third book explores the life of Russian Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov, and the woman who, years later, claimed to be her.
I recently spoke with Lawhon just after her book, I Was Anastasia, was released in paperback.Here’s our conversation:
