THE AUTHORS
LINDA
BUCHAN
My name is Linda Buchan and when I was 18 years old I died.
It was a winter’s day, Saturday June 27, 1998 when my young life ended and my new life began. A life that was to be so completely different to the one that I had envisaged, the one that I had expected…
LAURA
BLOOM
It’s the people traditionally left out of the frame who interest Laura the most, as well as what happens after what would be the climax in many stories. A couple reuniting after the war, in IN THE MOOD; a woman who has changed her name and started a new life, only to find her old life catching up with her, in THE CLEANSKIN; what happens when you break up with the perfect person, in CHOOSING ZOE.
THE BOOKS
An intelligent thriller filled with human drama, reminiscent of William Boyd’s Restless. From the dark heart of The Troubles, The Cleanskin is a story of intense human relationships with a cast of flawed and entirely believable characters.
