Notă biografică

Ellie was born in Bristol, but raised in a hamlet on the outskirts of Southend-on-Sea by a family of avid readers. So avid, in fact, her mum enrolled her in the local library before she'd even emerged from the womb, which was awkward for all concerned. Ellie's passion for writing stories flourished aged seven, when her parents bought her a Petite Super International typewriter for Christmas, and there was no stopping her. After studying for a Broadcasting Degree at the University of Leeds, Ellie realised there were too few home makeover shows in the world, and worked on a number of DIY and Garden programmes for UK Style. She then returned to studying and completed an MA in Screenwriting in 2008. She lives in London and For the Record is her debut novel.

Recenzii

"A feel-good family drama with plenty of humour and a great cast of crazy characters. Warm and touching, with lots of heart" -- Fiona Noble The Bookseller 20110325 "This is a real charmer full of gentle humour, traditional English eccentrics who'll raise a smile, a sweet romance and a lovely narrator" thebookbag.co.uk "Funny and fast, this is an engaging story with colourful characters, ridiculous records and the occasional serious moment" The Scotsman "Fantastic ... The tissue moments are off-set by the rest of the humour. I love how much I laughed while reading this 10/10 read" Nayu's Reading Corner
