She became a full-time writer and educator after an early career as a BBC World Service radio producer and a PhD about Timbuktu in the European cultural imagination.
Her biography of Britain’s first fertility guru, Doctor of Love: James Graham and his Celestial Bed, was reviewed in academic journals and tabloids alike. This was followed by three critically acclaimed historical novels for young adults: A World Between Us, That Burning Summer and Liberty’s Fire. All were loosely inspired by her own family’s radical history. Her adult fiction debut, Mr Peacock’s Possessions, a Robinsonade set on a remote volcanic island in nineteenth-century Oceania, was a Book of the Year in The Times and The Sunday Times.
Lydia has just completed her novel Olga and Beaver, which tells the story of the long and complicated three-way relationship between Olga Kosakiewicz, Simone de Beauvoir and John Paul Sartre.
