Writing Classes with a Book Club Favourite Author.
Emylia Hall, Author.
Emylia Hall is the author of four novels. The Book of Summers, a coming-of-age story inspired by childhood holidays, was published by Headline in 2012 and was one of the bestselling debuts of the year. It was a Richard and Judy book club selection, and went on to be voted the favourite read of the summer by readers. It was translated into eight languages. A Heart Bent Out of Shape was published in 2013 and won the Novelicious Book of the Year Award. The Sea Between Us followed in 2015 and The Thousand Lights Hotel in 2017. With books set in rural Hungary, the Swiss Riviera, Cornwall’s far west and the Tuscan isle of Elba, her work is strongly influenced by place, and driven by an interest in how travel and landscape can help shape personal identity.

What Authors Say About Emylia Hall.
Susan Fletcher.
“A Heart Bent out of Shape is as tender and insightful as is it gripping. First love and a mysterious death – and the fears and intensities of both – are woven so deftly into the pages that I read late into the night. The novel speaks of life's value and potential – and of Hall's, as a writer.”
Hannah Beckerman.
“The Sea Between Us is that rare beast – a beautifully written, intricately observed love story that's both lyrical and enchanting. This is a novel that deserves to be savoured.”
Rosie Walsh.
“Glorious... Luminous, lyrical, luscious. And what a story. I was transfixed.”
