Companion to Owls is my third novel, set in the Cambridgeshire fens. It's about a family which belongs to a community of Huguenots working on the drainage of the fens in the late 16th century.
Getting reviews and marketing books is quite a task, so when - only yesterday - I received this comment about it from Kevin Crossley-Holland, a writer whose work is closely connected to East Anglia, I was delighted. He wrote:
This novel has a quiet shine to it. It is beautifully researched, unblinking, always kind. Sharing the lives of a Huguenot family living in the Fens, and see-sawing between their snatches of happiness and their tears, one comes to feel that, yes, this is how things really were.
If you'd like to read an extract or know more about Companion to Owls, have a look at my website and post a few words about it.
