When I see or hear or experience something viscerally, I feel an intense urge to write about it, look more closely at it, turn it over and peer underneath it, maybe shake it, sometimes deconstruct it and create something new. Also, it’s a way to not be silenced, to break silences. To give voice to issues I care deeply about.

I set TNC in the nineties because I didn't want to have technology as character. It was so important for me to give Nora and Margaret a voice—they'd been silenced for so long, that I wanted to invite readers into the theater without any tech distractions. Setting TNC in the 90's allowed me to also place Maeve in a time (1963) when there was very little therapeutic support—abuse, any abuse just wasn’t talked about...and without support Maeve continued to believe that the child was at fault, the child must be doing something provocative to entice the father—which became another layer of betrayal for Nora to cope with. Hope this helps—Anna(less)

Quotes by Anna Quinn  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“She’s never understood the arbitrary nature of God, the logic behind “some are blessed and some are damned,” hates when people exclaim, “I’m so blessed!” every time they get a parking spot or survive cancer, as if people who can’t find a parking spot or die from cancer aren’t blessed and should work harder to earn God’s favor and protection.”
Anna Quinn, The Night Child

“Writers, I don’t know if there is anything more unexpectedly enlightening than allowing your imagination to run wild in your first draft.”
Anna Quinn

“writing is vulnerable is power is freedom.”
Anna Quinn

Anna Quinn

“She closes her eyes and breathes in rhythm with the ebb and flow of the ocean. Her grandfather told her once, as they sat on the shore of Galway Bay, that on the ebb, the waves gathered up secrets and carried them away, and on the flow, the secrets spilled into new places until they were heard. She'd asked him if he'd heard any secrets, but he'd only put his finger on her lips and said, "Listen.”
Anna Quinn, The Night Child

“Everyone has their own way of being brave.”
