"A beautifully written story, soaked in love and important things." Steven Camden, author of TAPE.

Praise for Jenny Valentine:

Finding Violet Park: "A wonderful debut for many reasons... the book is astute... full of bitter-sweet observations. The plot is so well controlled that you never anticipate the clever ending." Guardian

Broken Soup: "Rich in sympathetic, unconventional characters and precise observation, the book has a lightness of touch that belies its skill... it is most enjoyable: a life-affirming, witty, romantic read." Sunday Times

The Ant Colony: "[Valentine] has a magical narrative voice that instantly engages, and her tale... is riveting. [She] writes so beautifully and so convincingly that you're instantly swept into the mystery of these people's lives." Amanda Craig, The Times

The Double Life of Cassiel Roadnight: "Trust and treachery blend into a suspenseful, satisfying story about the choices that we make." The Times

Jenny Valentine moved house every two years when she was growing up. She has just moved house again, probably not for the last time. She worked in a wholefood shop in Primrose Hill for fifteen years where she met many extraordinary people and sold more organic loaves than there are words in her first novel, Finding Violet Park, which won the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize in 2007. She has also worked as a teaching assistant and a jewellery maker. She studied English Literature at Goldsmiths College, which almost put her off reading but not quite.
