About the Author
Susan Howatch was born in Surrey in England. After taking a degree in law at King's College, London, she emigrated to America where she married, had a daughter, and embarked on her career as a writer. In 1976 she separated from her husband, left America and lived in the Republic of Ireland for four years before returning to England. While living in a flat overlooking Salisbury Cathedral and "trying to hold my divided self together", she found herself inspired by the beauty of the cathedral and became a convert. She wondered if she should continue producing romantic novels. Instead, she wrote the series of six Starbridge novels about the Church of England in the 20th century, all of which reflect her own spiritual crises.
Review
'I read on, wriggling on a hypnotic storyteller's hook' Daily Telegraph'Every bit as good as Trollope' Liverpool Echo'A tour de force... Susan Howatch has been likened to a twentieth-century version of Trollope. To make such a comparison is to fail to do her justice' Church of England Newspaper'Howatch writes thrillers of the heart and mind ... everything in a Howatch novel cuts close to the bone and is of vital concern' New Woman'Riveting... extremely moving and often very funny... She is a deft storyteller, and her writing has depth, grace and pace' Sunday Times'She is writing for anyone who can recognise that mysterious gift of the true storyteller' Daily Telegraph'One of the most original novelists writing today' Cosmopolitan'The best female writer in Britain today' Birmingham Evening Mail
