Her first, The Painted Bridge, was set in a women’s asylum in Highgate in 1859. Longlisted for the Desmond Elliott prize, it won the 2014 Chambéry festival English first novel prize. Her second, The Sacred River, is set in Egypt in the early 1880s at a time of political and social turmoil. Both are published by Simon & Schuster in the UK and Scribner in the US.
She is the author of two non-fiction books, Oranges and Lemons: a year in the life of an inner city primary school (Routledge) and Daughter of Dust: growing up abandoned in the desert of Sudan (Simon & Schuster), the story of a courageous Sudanese woman championing children born outside marriage in a conservative Muslim society.
Her most recent novel, The Unforgetting – about a ghost who becomes a woman – was published in January 2020 by Orion Books, under the pen name Rose Black. She is writing a fourth historical novel, based on the true story of a 19th century English cult.
Wendy works with the Royal Literary Fund helping NHS staff and others with their writing. She lives by the sea, in Kent, with her husband.
