Half-English and half-French, Michele Roberts was born in 1949. DAUGHTERS OF THE HOUSE (1992) was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and won the WH Smith Literary Award.
Lilian Pizzichini, AMAZON.CO.UK REVIEW * 'Michele Roberts has written a memorable, glowing fantasy, a deftly tapestried fable' * Michele Robert s' ninth novel manipulates episodes from the lives of the 18th-century pioneer of women's rights, Mary Wollstonecraft, and her contemporary, William Wordsworth. Both are known to have had secret affairs in Paris during the French Revolution, and Roberts uses these 'indiscretion s' as the backbone for an historical romance with a feminist agenda. * She places her story in rural France in the early 1800s. Louise, a peasant woman, fearing she is about to die, summons her priest; she has a secret to confess. And so the novel begins. We are taken back to 1780, when Jemima Boote arrives at Mary Wollstone * Roberts is at her best when she writes about food and sex, about feelings and desires that cut across boundaries of time and class * SUNDAY TIMES * One of Britain's best novelists * INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY *
