Sarah talks about the challenges of writing “turn the page” novels set in the past while still getting all the history right. Not as easy as it may sound as she found over the years when it comes to bringing alive the Italian renaissance.

And most recently the redoutable character of Isabella d’Este, The Marchesa of Mantua
