Lucy Ribchester discusses her novel MURDER BALLAD, set in 18th-century #Edinburgh:
“I’ve always been interested in the lives of people who live in this in-between state, like journalists & musicians & artisanal people who can move in different echelons of society… who are allowed a glimpse of this incredible, wealthy world, this world of opulence, but aren’t actually able to possess it”
