Author of eagerly awaited and sparklingly readable novels often centred around the domestic nuances and dilemmas of life in contemporary England, Joanna Trollope is also the author of a number of historical novels and of BRITANNIA'S DAUGHTERS, a study of women in the British Empire. In 1988 she wrote her first contemporary novel, THE CHOIR, and this was followed by A VILLAGE AFFAIR, A PASSIONATE MAN, THE RECTOR'S WIFE, THE MEN AND THE GIRLS, A SPANISH LOVER, THE BEST OF FRIENDS, NEXT OF KIN, OTHER PEOPLE'S CHILDREN and, most recently, MARRYING THE MISTRESS. She lives in Gloucestershire.
