Maggie Brookes is an ex-journalist and BBC TV documentary producer,
turned poet and novelist. She's also an associate professor at
Middlesex University, and an advisory fellow of the Royal Literary
Fund.
The Prisoner's Wife is based on a true story told to her in a lift,
by a World War II prisoner of war. Maggie visited Czechoslovakia,
Poland and Germany as part of her research for the book, uncovering
largely forgotten aspects of the war. Although the story can be
harrowing at times, it's also about the power of friendship and of
love.
