Helen Dunmore
(1952 - 2017)Helen Dunmore's pen must have barely rested after her first novel, Zennor in Darkness, was published in 1993. An extraordinarily prolific writer, she won the inaugural Orange Prize for Fiction for her second novel A Spell of Winter and her other bestselling fiction included the novels The Siege, The Betrayal and Exposure. Birdcage Walk was her last novel. Dunmore also wrote books for children and YA readers, including the novels that form the Ingo Chronicles. She was also an award-winning poet and her final collection, written in the months leading up to her death, Inside the Wave, is both a meditation on mortality and a celebration of life in all its strange and wonderful richness.

Helen Dunmore recommends
The Feed (2018)
Nick Clark Windo
"What a riveting and original novel! THE FEED is frighteningly believable and disturbing and I loved the way I was pulled into its dark reality, so convincing that it's almost unbearable. THE FEED is one of those rare novels that changes your mind as you read it. It is such a brilliant exploration of the hive-mind, taken to chilling extremes which almost destroy humanity."
Home Fire (2017)
Kamila Shamsie
"Its pages are lit by Shamsie's eloquent prose . A novel well worth reading."
The Lie of the Land (2017)
Amanda Craig
"I loved the The Lie of the Land. A panoramic, superbly-plotted novel about the ways we live now, about money and desire, cruelty and generosity, crime and vengeance, country and city. Craig is at the top of her game."
