A twisty and gripping debut psychological thriller about a lodger with a sinister obsession.
Tasha Sylva is an aspiring small-scale farmer, with a focus on regenerative agriculture, community, and localisation. She is currently based in the southwest of England, after time in London, Scotland, and southern Spain. For her, the power of story is fundamental, as is the power of language. She regularly asks: How can we foster curiosity and imagination? And, importantly, human connection to each other, soil, plants, and all threads of our environment. When not writing, she can be found swimming in the sea or watching birds. The Guest Room is her debut novel.
