Elizabeth: I've really come to understand in the last week -- I'm a bit of a hermit in my regular life, like actually really a hermit. I've always thought that I wrote mostly for myself and my own amusement. You'll hear writers talk about who their ideal reader is. My ideal reader is like me. I've been so blown away at what a freaking honor it is and how touched I am to be learning that so many people are reading the book and how meaningful that is to me and in particular, to be hearing from people who are sending messages saying that they’ve been moved by the book. They're all amazing, but the ones that are most amazing are the ones who are coming from women and girls who know that part of the world and who are so delighted to see characters who are so familiar to them in literature.
