About the Author:

Barbara Corrado Pope, author of Cezanne's Quarry, fell in love with the art, landscapes and people of Provence while teaching French, women's and religious history to American students in Avignon. Among the many places she led lecture-tours were Provence, where she followed in Cezanne's footsteps, from the hidden depths of the Bibemus Quarry to his sunny studio at Les Lauves on the outskirts of town.

She has a PhD in the Social and Intellectual History of Europe from Columbia University and has taught history and women's studies in places as diverse as Hungary, Tuscany, the University of New Mexico, and Harvard Divinity School. Her longest stint was at the University of Oregon, where she was the founding director of women's studies.

Cezanne's Quarry is her first novel. She was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. After taking early retirement, she continues to reside in Eugene, Oregon, where she is completing her second Bernard Martin mystery. The Blood of Lorraine is set in another place she has grown to love, Nancy, France.
