"The Lodge does feel like a real place in my head. It's based on a few hotels I've known, probably most closely on two establishments on Shelter Island, NY, where I spent my childhood summers. Like anything in fiction, you take a little seed of something real, and then it grows in your mind into something else entirely." --Thisbe, from an interview with Library Journal
