The Strongest Woman in the World—with Kimberly Duffy

Historical Fiction: Unpacked

Kimberly Duffy joins us again today to talk about her latest release, The Weight of Air. While Kim's first three books featured the mystical setting of India, a country near and dear to the author's heart, her fourth novel takes place mostly in her home state of New York. The story centers around a strong woman in the circus and her quest to find the mother she thought had died. Kim and I had a wonderful conversation about flipping various stereotypes in this book. We also talked about how Kim's former struggle with Postpartum Depression and OCD surprised her by showing up in this novel, as well as what it's like to write when you're facing current trauma or grief.
