“Reading Plague: A Story of Smallpox in Montreal by Michael Bliss, I started to wonder what it must be like, growing up when a life-threatening disease is sweeping through your city. When Penguin Canada decided to do a historical fiction series (“Our Canadian Girl”), that’s when Marie-Claire got ‘born’ and my research and writing began.” – KS
