Autorenporträt
p.d.r. lindsay has always preferred to write historical stories about ordinary people, the ones whose names and lives we don't know much about. Reading the diaries and letters of these people showed her how the basic human dilemmas do not change over the centuries. She finds that certain human trait both good and bad, can be better shown through historical stories than through contemporary ones and hopes that readers will think about those failings as they apply to today. She is concerned that certain social issues make repeat appearances over the centuries and likes her readers to think about the situations the characters find themselves in whilst enjoying their company. She's passionate about words, feels the loss of people like Shakespeare, those who wrote the King James Bible, poets who made words dance, like Gerard Manley Hopkins. She also loves to travel and find unusual settings for her stories, and then research to find a kernel of fact to grow her stories from.
