Kerry Barrett was a bookworm from a very early age, devouring Enid Blyton and Noel Streatfeild, before moving on to Sweet Valley Highand 1980s bonkbusters. She did a degree in English Literature, then trained as a journalist, writing about everything from pub grub to EastEnders. Her first novel, Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered, took six years to finish and was mostly written in longhand on her commute to work, giving her a very good reason to buy beautiful notebooks. Kerry lives in London with her husband and two sons, and Noel Streatfeild’s Ballet Shoes is still her favourite novel.

Kerry Barrett recommends
The Air Raid Book Club (2023)
Annie Lyons
"Annie Lyons has cleverly woven the horror and heartbreak of war with the resilience of human nature, the strength of love, and the importance of friends, and created a satisfying, funny, uplifting story that feels so authentic I longed to be in the village hall watching the Christmas revue! A fabulous story, perfect for fans of Lissa Evans and AJ Pearce. I adored it."
All the Lights Above Us (2022)
M B Henry
"A thoughtful, thought-provoking and gripping story that made me re-think what I thought I knew about the war."
The Drowned Village (2018)
Kathleen McGurl
"Really touching, a gently gripping mystery. Made me desperate to visit the Lake District!"
