Susan Fletcher’s first novel, Eve Green, won the Whitbread First Novel Award, the Betty Trask Prize and was winner of the Author's Club Best First Novel Award. It was also shortlisted for the LA Times First Novel Award, and became a Richard & Judy Book Club bestseller. Her latest novel, Oystercatchers, is set in Norfolk, and like Eve Green is concerned with themes of childhood, family, and loss. In it, a woman visits her younger sister who is lying in a coma, and by her bed explores the intricacies and cruelties of their past.
A graduate of the UEA Creative Writing MA, Fletcher has been described as ‘a seriously talented young author in possession of one of the most poetic and original voices working now’ (Joanna Briscoe, Guardian). She currently lives in the West Midlands.
