Story time in Paris: Martha Hall Kelly, “Les Colombes d’Or”

My guest this week is New York Times bestselling author Martha Hall Kelly. In fact, Martha's first novel, https://marthahallkelly.com/books/lilac-girls, became a New York Times bestseller the week it was published. It went on to sell more than two million copies and was published in 50 countries. She followed this book with two others in the series. Martha's latest book, The Golden Doves, is a standalone work of historical fiction set in the immediate aftermath of World War II. It features two former spies – one tracking down an infamous Nazi doctor and the other searching for a son who may or may not still be alive.

In our conversation, Martha shares her research process, where she finds inspirations for her characters, how she creates characters that remain relatable despite their differences, and much more. Then, she offers us a reading of her book.

About Us
Long before Victor Hugo looked at Notre-Dame and said to himself: "Um… what if a hunchback lived there?", authors took inspiration from Paris. The Storytime in Paris podcast will help continue this tradition with short interviews and readings from your favorite contemporary authors with a French connection.

Each episode will include five questions, asked by you, our authors' biggest fans, and which you will answer live on air. Then, our authors will offer us the reading of an extract from their book. Who knows? Maybe you'll even be inspired to write your own great French novel. Good listening !
