Dilly Court grew up in North East London and began her career in commercial television, writing scripts for commercials. She is married with two grown-up children and three grandchildren, and now lives in Dorset on the beautiful Jurassic Coast with her husband and a large, yellow Labrador called Archie. She is also the author of Mermaids Singing.
"The heroine of this Victorian saga is what my grandmother would have called a bit of a romancer. But she meets her match in upper class Barney Palgrave, an attractive rogue whose penchant for gilding the lily is even greater than her own. Set in the mean streets of the East End of London and in colonial India, this story has an element of the Eliza Dolittle about it" -- Sue McNab * Nottingham Evening Post * "Marvellous new saga to delight Ms Court's growing legion of fans who will love her feisty and independent heroine, Tilly ... Her quest is packed with incident and emotion" * Peterborough Evening Telegraph * "Once again Dilly Court reveals her talent" * The Daily Echo *
