Madeleine Wickham
Note from Sophie
Before I was Sophie Kinsella, I was Madeleine Wickham. In fact, that’s my real name!
I started off my writing career with a series of novels which are rather different from my Sophie Kinsella books. They’re a bit more serious, a bit darker and are all ensemble pieces without a main heroine, but groups of characters whose lives interlink in some way. I loved writing them, and am very happy when readers write and tell me that they have enjoyed my ‘alter ago’.
