My new novel, The Fire and the Rose, available in-store and online now.

This exquisite, painfully tender story, set against the maltreatment and expulsion of the Jews from England, carries Kazantzakis’s exploration of flesh and spirit to a new sphere. Its brilliant narrative of the making of ‘the other’ with both its terrifying underbelly and its potential for hope resonates powerfully with our own time.
