‘The world of the Fens unfolded in a tranquil symphony of blues, silvers, and greens under a canopy of blue sky.’
It was difficult to choose a location for Castle Holme in A Misalliance with Love. I wanted somewhere that felt remote and abandoned yet close enough to a large town and not too difficult to reach from London. It should be easily reachable by the male main character, Sinclair, yet remote enough for the female main character, Rosie, to feel lonely and abandoned. The Fens in Cambridgeshire felt remote and ‘otherworldly’ and beautiful in all seasons.
