The painting was titled View of Paris from the Trocadero. In it, two women stand with a small girl looking off into the city of Paris far in the distance. The women are blocked from moving forward into the city by a wooden fence that cuts diagonally across the painting. It isn't a strong barrier, more symbolic in nature. I was struck by how the painting represented the restricted status of Victorian era women. From that painting I got the idea to write about a woman of that time who was strong and independent, and in no way indoctrinated about proper women's roles. That woman became Emma Dobbins, my protagonist.Willard Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589055999183386454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-471386512776043154.post-83169166988744871102019-04-10T07:48:39.751-07:002019-04-10T07:48:39.751-07:00Thanks for hosting my book tour and especilly for ...Thanks for hosting my book tour and especilly for the wonderful review you gave my book.
