We’re delighted to welcome Claire to our Wiltshire retreat on June 5. Her first novel, Our Endless Numbered Days won the 2015 Desmond Elliott Prize for debut fiction and was a Richard and Judy Book Club book in 2016. Her second novel, Swimming Lessons was published in early 2017, and the third, Bitter Orange will be published later this year. She will talk about her writing and journey to getting published.
