She stood up to her husband (my great grandfather) who was a very religious minister. LOL. She went to the barber with my grandmother and both ladies got the marcelled bob hair that was popular in the 1920s. He told his wife that he could not take her to church anymore. Molly said "I do not care!". She really had spunk!<br /><br />Yes, I am finding so much fascinating information during my research like how evil Sigmund Freud was and about Queen Victoria communicating to Princess Alice of Battenberg in Sign Language. Princess Alexandra of Denmark, the Princess of Wales, was another brilliant person. She was deaf and she accomplished so much in her lifetime despite her deafness. She was the first person in the Royal family to use a Brownie camera.<br /><br />My cozy mystery novel set in 1920s England is going to be wonderful because of all the fascinating background research.<br /><br />DianaBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-59557058039273801212022-08-17T14:27:02.458-04:002022-08-17T14:27:02.458-04:00I love it when these rabbit hole trips wind up in ...I love it when these rabbit hole trips wind up in books.

For a while my husband and I had a house in a small village outside Monforte de Lemos, and it was near property with a whole forest of chestnut trees. All the locals would be picking chestnuts in the fall. You'd also see them for sale at all the ferias on market day.Elizabeth Varadanhttp://elizabethvaradansfourthwish.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-61408133884117819402022-08-17T12:03:05.385-04:002022-08-17T12:03:05.385-04:00Truss, you’re so right.

In my Brooklyn series, which is contemporary but about how the history lives on, for each book, the story I ended up telling was not the one I thought I was getting ready to write. I found it in the research.Plus there are always those surprising tidbits - ex. an interview with the grandson of one of the leading Brooklyn mobsters, notorious Murder Inc , talked about what a gentleman he was and how he admired Lincoln and Gandhi!

Digging in, I discovered the Great Sacandaga Lake was artificial, created in 1930 as a way to manage Albany's water.
