Now, aged 43, I find myself writing, and I wonder why I didn’t do it sooner.

I’ve always loved writing. My daughter Tilly has an old notebook of mine filled with half-finished stories and accompanying drawings.

Food for Thought was my first novel, and if you’d asked me two months before I started writing it, I would have told you definitively that I did not have a novel in me. I’d written a self-help book, and wrote almost exclusively non-fiction, and only allowed myself to read fiction when I was on a sun lounger.

Fast forward to lock-down, where the self-help went out the window and I found myself eati

Sara’s Quotes

“There are people in this life who are takers by nature, and that makes them drains, and those are the ones we avoid, hmm? But there are also truly good, wonderful people who have so much to give when they’re in a good place, but who may end up draining us all the same when they’re struggling, without either party being remotely aware of it.”
― Elodie Hart, Undulate
