The Stories We Inherit: A Conversation with Christina Baker Kline
From orphan trains to convict ships to conjoined twins, #1 New York Times bestselling author Christina Baker Kline has built a career uncovering extraordinary true stories and transforming them into award-winning fiction. In this conversation, she discusses her new novel The Foursome—the story of Chang and Eng Bunker and the sisters who married them, including Kline’s own distant relatives. How does she balance historical fact with imaginative truth? What draws her to characters on the margins of history? And what does it mean to write about bodies, bonds, and belonging across more than a century of American life?
