Biography:
I was born in Malaysia and lived there until I was nearly nine - coming to live in England in the middle of winter was a shock! I love the East and, along with Sri Lanka, I’ve also been to Vietnam, where I researched my third novel, The Silk Merchant’s Daughter - out in February 2016. I’m thrilled that in the New Year I’ll be going to India to research the fourth book, especially as we’ve recently discovered my husband’s great grandmother was Indian. After living in a tiny medieval mountain village in Andalusia, Spain, for five years, I came back to the 21st Century, and now live in Gloucestershire. My life has been bitter-sweet: currently riding high with a Sunday Times Bestseller – but it was the sudden death of my fourteen year old son that changed everything, deeply influencing my writing. I came to writing late. Sixty is pretty late! But I love finding little slices of history to weave a story around. That’s what I did for The Tea Planter’s Wife and both my other novels, but the most exciting thing of all is when a new story is germinating. I just love it.
