Imagining the Past—Summer/Autumn Season—2025—Diane Murray in conversation with Alexandra Joel, Belinda Alexander, and Christine Wells

Fine art, luxury jewellery, espionage, royal scandal and danger. Alexandra Joel, Christine Wells and Belinda Alexandra are expert in interweaving the intrigue of past lives into novels set in cities such as Paris, New York and Cairo. Diane Murray asks what inspired their stories, what methods they use to tease out their mysteries, and the challenges encountered when portraying time periods within living memory.
