BOOKS

Lynn Cullen often writes about overlooked or misunderstood historical figures. Much like an art restorer, she conducts meticulous research of her subject matter and the time period in which she lived, often visiting the places where her protagonists worked and played. Only then does Lynn begin to carefully remove the layers of varnish and patina from each character’s story, restoring her through the literary imagination. Yes, all of Lynn’s books are fiction. But as any writer of historical fiction will tell you, the most bizarre aspects of any novel are often the stories most grounded in truth!
