How did you come across her? I

can't quite remember how I came across her, actually.

I mean, I've worked as a tarot reader as well as a writer.

And I think I just came across her in my work as tarot reading.

And as soon as I found out about Mademoiselle Lenormand, I could not believe it.

novel hadn't been written about her because she's such an incredible character um and there's quite a lot documented about her later life but very little about her early life but i thought it was quite amazing that she started out as an orphan with nothing and ended up at a very young age running owning a bookshop or running a bookshop in paris in the early days of the revolution and illegally reading tarot in a secret tarot salon.

And I thought, oh my God, this is just make for me this story.
