Bravo to this wonderful Interviewer for staying out of Ms Dunant's way and allowing her to simply tell her story, of writing stories. Most insightful...thank you.

What a delightful explanation of her process of writing. The research sounds as though she immerses herself in a pool, and then the writing can happen.
Thanks for putting up the videos.
