Past winner of the David Higham First Novel Award for her 1983 debut The Notebook of Gismondo Cavalletti. The stories of seven biblical women who merit no more than walk-on parts – Eve, Lot's wife, Abraham's wives Sarah and Hagar, the pharaoh's daughter who found Moses, Martha, and Pilate's wife – as re-imagined by the author. "A remarkable, imaginative achievement." –The Observer
