What is your favorite thing about writing?

I think your genius is that you return adults to the magical time when they first experienced entering a wholly different world in the reading of a book. Your books are like fairy tales for adults. And I wonder if you are like Jonas in The Giver, seeing red in a world that is gray to most? Do you think writers see things differently?

Rochelle Fay asked Alice Hoffman:

Hi, The book sounds tempting. My question is.; Who is Pissaro's father ; was he sephardic too?/

S.S. Julian asked Alice Hoffman:

What is your research process like, and how do you check your work for historical accuracy? Can you describe an instance when you decided, for dramatic or plot purposes, it was better to overlook historical precedent?
