What this episode covers
Mary and Dan discuss using a city as a character with Sarah Pinborough , for whom London is an important setting and one of her favorite places. We talk about the importance of being accurate, and how a city isn't just the buildings and the history, it's also the attitudes of the people who live there. Sarah gives us lots (and lots and lots) of insight into how she wrote London into her books, what she did right, and what (per her admission) she got wrong. Dan and Mary also give us some peeks into what they've done with Clayton (completely fictional) and Nashville (adjusted via authorial arson) in their own books.
