His historically accurate tale, set in Oakland, California in 1914, gives life and voice to an engaging 32 year old woman, an artist. His main character, Katherine, convincingly reflects through her eyes and experience, her take on her personal life and on the society and the world around her. Goodman offers a rare glimpse into the process of what creating a fictional character looks and feels like, from inside the author’s own head and heart.
Fun and thought provoking.
