Wow Kate, I've never met anyone else who's heard of her! I worked in a local bookshop for a short while and insisted they stocked her books and used to press them on everyone. I'd love to meet her one day and tell her how I've boosted her sales ...

I've read Reading in Bed but it's not really my favourite. As well as the two I mentioned I liked the slightly quirky ones like Thin Air and The Hours of the Night. Reading in Bed seemed to revert to a more mainstream sort of storytelling style and lose some of the originality I felt.

Did you cry reading Earth and Heaven? Don't want to give too much away for those who haven't read it .. My OH cried too
