Books by Rosy Thornton

Rosy Thornton grew up in Ipswich and studied law at Cambridge University. She stayed on to do a Ph.D. and has been a lecturer there ever since. In 1996, she was awarded the Cambridge University Pilkington Teaching Prize. Following the BBC's adaptation of North and South, Rosy Thornton decided to try her hand at writing fiction. The result is this marvellously accomplished first novel. Rosy lives in a village near Cambridge with her husband, their two daughters and a springer spaniel called Treacle.
