​Catherine Banner was born in Cambridge, UK, in 1989 and began writing at the age of fourteen. She studied English at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, before moving to County Durham where she worked as a secondary school teacher. She has published a trilogy of young adult novels, The Last Descendants.

Her debut adult novel, The House at the Edge of Night, tells the story of the 2008 financial crisis and 95 years of European history through one family and their bar on a tiny Mediterranean island.

Her work is translated into 21 languages. She lives in Turin, Italy, with her husband and young son. She is currently working on her next novel, The Lit and Unlit World, which follows the women of a vine-growing family in the mountains of north Italy.

Catherine Banner is currently not accepting new questions.

I still have a very clear sense of them as people all these years later. Part of that, I think, is because the characters already relate to sides of the writer's own self or experience, which is what draws you to write about them in the first place. It's one of the things I love about writing, actually.(less)
