Historical fiction has never been more popular. Some say we’re escaping from the pressures of the present; others contend the past is rich in stories that question and confirm who we are. Commonwealth prize-winner Joan Thomas, author of Reading by Lightning (GooseLane Editions), explores 19th century Lyme Regis in Curiosity: A Love Story, while Sandra Gulland, author of the Josephine B. Trilogy returns to France, to the court of Louis XIV in Mistress of the Sun. In an intimate onstage conversation, Gulland and Thomas discuss the place of the past in the literary present.
