I am delighted to tell you about my latest novel, The Only Light in London which is out on 20 February. It’s set in London during the Blitz and was inspired, in part, by those early days in the pandemic, when theatres were shut and it made me imagine what it must have been like…

We’d been working on the draft for a couple of days, playing around with different ideas including using an actual…

It’s about giving myself over to the magic of writing, and trusting that when I sit down to write everyday, the magic will come. Elizabeth Gilbert wrote a while ago that her first novel was the hardest thing she ever wrote, that the words…
