REFERENCES AND

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

A

s part of my research for this book, I came upon old stories about love and hope. I enjoyed reading them and knew I had to incorporate them.

The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux

The Death-Wedding of Honfleur is a story originally told in Excursions in Normandy, Ed. from the Journal of a Recent Traveller [Reise- Und Rasttage in Der Normandie, by Jacob Venedey] by Frederic Shoberl (1838).

Laüstic is a Breton lai by the medieval poet Marie de France. Her works have been dated to between ca. 1160 and 1215 and she is considered France’s first female poet whose work influenced the development of the romance/heroic literature genre to this day.

The story behind the La Mère Poulard, the restaurant on Mont Saint-Michel, is the real-life story of Anne “Annette” Boutiaut Poulard and Victor Poulard. I had the pleasure of visiting this mystic island a few years ago, and knew Stella and Naomi needed the experience of stepping back in time there.
