Many of her novels are multi-generational sagas, and some – in particular the Hillsbridge Quartet – are based on her own working class background in a Somerset mining community.

Before turning to novels she was a prolific writer of short stories and serials, with hundreds of stories appearing in various magazines and publications worldwide. Janet Tanner lives in Radstock, Somerset.
Съвсем случайно попаднах на авторката и съм впечатлена.Все едно се качих на скоростно влакче. Толкова наситена със събития и герои,пълнокръвна сага. Да, вече звучи малко старомодно, на места наивно, има някои не много добри връзки, но не те оставя нито за миг спокойно до самия край. Издирих всичките й книги издадени на български и продължавам маратанона.
