A physical therapist by profession, the North Park resident’s upcoming historical fiction book is about the black plague in 1300s France
Elizabeth DeLozier is the author of upcoming “Eleanore of Avignon”, shown here at her home on Thursday, Aug. 15, 2024 in San Diego, CA. A casual glance at her biography and one gets the sense that her trajectory wasn’t exactly headed toward a career as a novelist. Sure, at college she started out majoring in Spanish literature, but ended up receiving her bachelor’s degree in biological anthropology and, eventually, she earned her doctorate in physical therapy.
“Eleanore of Avignon” is set in the 14th century and centers on the title character , a young herbalist and midwife in the Provence region of France. Long before social mobility was even possible, Elea dreams of pursuing medicine further, but knows this can be dangerous for both a woman and a seemingly lowly villager.
The seeds of “Eleanore” came to her in the fall of 2018 after she vacationed in the south of France with her mother and aunt. While visiting Avignon, she often found herself wandering around the city, inspired by the mix of modern and old-world design elements. She began working on an outline when, as if the universe was sending her a further message, the COVID-19 pandemic began to spread around the globe.
