I was born and brought up in Berkshire. Following a teenage spell in the depths of Lancashire, I moved to London where I've lived since.In my writing, I explore social history, complicated relationships, and how the extraordinary happens every day. As well as writing novels, I'm a playwright and have worked with theatres across London. I share my home with my long-term partner, an ever-growing collection of antique curiosities, and more books than any person really needs.

It broke my heart, then it fixed it again."" Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ""I just couldn't get enough of it... I really didn't want this story to end. I was so wrapped up in it... An emotional rollercoaster of a read... Right from the start the author captivated me heart and soul and I loved everything about it. An absolute must read!"" Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ""A really powerful and heart-wrenching novel about love and self-sacrifice... It is beautifully written and for a few hours I got lost in its pages ... Now it is ended and I feel bereft... a most beautiful and fabulous novel."" Online reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
