The most twisty and romantic science fiction bestselling paperback of 2022
Catriona Silvey was born in Glasgow and grew up in Perthshire and
Derbyshire, which left her with a strange accent and a distrust of
flat places. She overcame the latter to do a BA in English at
Cambridge, and spent the next few years there working in scientific
publishing. After that she did a PhD in language evolution, in the
hope of finding out where all these words came from in the first
place.
Following stints in Edinburgh and Chicago, she returned to
Cambridge, where she lives with her husband and a very peculiar
cat. When she's not working as a researcher studying meaning in
language, she writes fantasy and science fiction. Her short stories
have been performed at the Edinburgh International Book Festival
and shortlisted for the Bridport Prize.
