Watson Fellowship and a doctorate from the University of Cambridge that this became official. She reads thirteen languages; most of which are long dead. She has lived in all the places you will meet in her book, but now splits her time between Brookline, Massachusetts, and a miniscule town in the Berkshires that has no school, post office, stores or traffic lights. A husband, two kids and a standard poodle keep her occupied when she’s not in the sixth century. While Paula has numerous non-fiction books and academic articles to her name, this is her first novel.
