Barbara Quick

Poet and novelist, struck by the beauty of the world, madly hoping that our species will evolve—quickly, before it’s too late!—toward wisdom.

What a pleasure and honor to speak about the young heroine of my 2010 novel, A GOLDEN WEB, on the “Lost Women of Science” podcast! #womeninstem #historicalfiction #sciencehistory #writingcommunity #youngadultfiction #novels #italy #emiliaromagna https://t.co/FQwyguxlu4

An honest and inspiring article by two of my talented—and persistent—literary friends. I wrote jacket quotes for their two latest novels, which are just wonderful! #writerscommunity #historicalfiction #writerslife

Thank you, @WomenWriters, for keeping me and my books in your thoughts! My broken wrist is finally healing. What a difficult time this has been for me! And I know it has been a very difficult time for so many people in the world who are going through far worse things! #writers

“Quick’s descriptions of Anna Maria’s violin playing soar off the page, evoking Vivaldi’s own compositions.”

In What Disappears, author Barbara Quick immerses the reader in a fascinating chiaroscuro world of ballet, fashion, and history, deftly shifting between Tsarist Russia and Paris in the time of Proust and Colette. https://t.co/XE1W0GOexa

Thank you, @WomenWriters, for keeping my most translated book (13 foreign editions and counting!) in the public eye. Anna Maria dal Violin is like a daughter to me. Who will play Anna Maria in the miniseries? 🤔 #HistoricalFiction #literaryfiction #venice #violinist #vivaldi
