Jennie is from a mill-working family, but as the first of the generation born after the mills closed, she went to university and built a career in the corporate world. In 2020 she left and began to write.

Jennie Godfrey recommends
The Beforelife of Eliza Valentine (2024)
Laura Pearson
"A gorgeous (and very clever) book. Actually stayed in bed this morning just so I could finish it, and I adored it, even if I am a little weepy now!"
After the Storm (2024)
G D Wright
"What an absolute rollercoaster ride of a book. Reminding me of Broadchurch, with its small town feel & its taut, propulsive plot, After The Storm is truly gripping."
