Podcast about The Queen's Apprenticeship, my new historical novel

 By Tracy

Good Reading is currently featuring an 18-minute podcast here on my new historical novel, The Queen's Apprenticeship, which entwines the story of the real-life Marguerite de Navarre with that of a fictional character, Jehane/Josse, who wants to work as a printer.

Here's their description:

"In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Tracy Ryan about the challenges facing women in Renaissance France, how inventing a fictional character to complement the real Queen of Navarre opened up storytelling possibilities, and how poetry, journal entries and Queen Marguerite’s own writing have enriched the social and political fabric of this story."

Many thanks to Gregory Dobbs and Good Reading.
