Author Interview - Sunday Taylor
Author of THE ANGLOPHILE'S NOTEBOOK
“Claire Easton is a writer and magazine editor living in Los Angeles, married to a successful music producer, Ben Roden. As Ben is about to leave on a three-month music tour in Australia, Claire travels to England to research a book on her favorite author, Charlotte Brontë, a love she inherited from her otherwise inattentive mother. While seeking Brontë's secrets, Claire discovers her own. THE ANGLOPHILE'S NOTEBOOK will whisk the reader away to literary London and the beautifully wild countryside of Yorkshire, home to the Brontë sisters. Brimming with writerly ghosts, enchanting bookstores, cozy pubs, English country gardens, and memorable characters, this novel is for anyone who has found their imagination in the gardens of rural England or a two-hundred-year-old bookstore in London and felt utterly alive.”
