  2. I have never read a book that explores the Women of Salerno. What inspired you to write about this era? And did you discover any unexpected surprised when you started researching your novel?

  3. Schola Medica Salernitana was so progressive, especially when you think about how long it took for a woman to be allowed to study a medical degree. I have never read a book that depicts this era in medicine. I have made a note to read your book. I am really looking forward to diving in.
