I was encouraged to be imaginative and read, and it was a great childhood for a budding writer because I had the time and the freedom to go into a world of my own.
My story is the story of many postwar British families. Upward mobility. A council house and then new affluence.
I wouldn't mind being a fly on the wall in a few Victorian parlours.
I've ended up feeling fonder of 'The Paying Guests' than of any of my other novels.
I like dramas because there's a big overlap between film and fiction, so I feel relatively qualified to talk about plot and characterisation and that sort of thing.
