About
Born in London; grow up there too. Babysitter, pot-washer, shopgirl, then Oxford University and Central School of Speech and Drama. Next comes 8 years’ work as a PA in the City, which is also 8 years’ working as a jobbing actress, before finishing The Miniaturist and selling it in 36 languages in 2014. Continue to write. Next book The Muse, another no.1 bestseller comes in 2016, though a different creature to the first. A children’s story to be published in 2018. In my spare time I like leaving places, and sometimes I like coming back.
