Dark Earth by Rebecca Stott
Did you know: under the remains of medieval London lies buried the once great Roman city of Londinium. It was abandoned around 420AD for reasons unknown. So much remains unknown about this period of history that it’s known as the Dark Ages. Author Stott delves into the lives of women during this time through two female characters who flee to the haunted city.
In our interview, the author shares her challenges with writing about the Dark Ages, especially women in that time, and the recurring exploration in her books of history and science with twists of alchemy.
