The Big Books of Summer 2025
E.L. Parfitt
E.L. Parfitt asked Tracy Chevalier:

I love how you weave different crafts into your books. For example, the tapestry details in The Lion and the Unicorn, paired with the complexity of your character such as At the Edge of the Orchard (my fav!). Do you find that these crafts inspire the books?

Tracy Chevalier Thanks, E.L! Yes, crafts definitely inspire my books. I am very interested in what people did with their hands. So glassmaking with the new book was very inspiring!
