Books Quote by Francesca Da Rimini
“Occasionally I still do a bit of stuff with people I met there seven years ago. It's like looking up an old lover IRL. But on the whole I've personally exhausted that avenue of research, so it no longer draws me. I did write a novel as a kind of document of that era.”
