Edward Ashburnham and his wife Leonora in The Good Solider by Form Madox Ford. A classic novel with an unreliable narrator so that we gradually come to understand the marriage of these two is not the calm supportive relationship that it might look from the outside but a massive power struggle against infidelity and debt. No wonder its the 'saddest story' you've ever heard.

I came across the true story of a woman who did an impressive artistic project. When I found out there was no novel written about her, I had to do it myself. Didn't I?

I am writing a book about the late 1970s in England; what happens to a group of young people who drop out of conventional life.

I was inspired by a woman who did something incredibly brave, difficult and which went against the grain of acceptability in Victorian England. Her drive and ambition motivated me to write a novel.
