Deborah Lawrenson spent her childhood moving around the world from Kuwait to China, Belgium, Luxembourg and Singapore with diplomatic service parents. She read English at Cambridge University and worked as a journalist in London. She is the author of nine novels, including the critically acclaimed The Art of Falling, which was a WHSmith Fresh Talent novel, and The Lantern, which was picked as a summer read for the Channel 4 TV Book Club in 2011. In October 2016, 300 Days of Sun was selected as one of the Great Group Reads for National Reading Group Month, run by the Women's National Book Association in the USA. The Secretary was inspired by her late mother's work for British intelligence. The 1958 diary she wrote at the height of the Cold War in Moscow provides authentic background details. Deborah lives in Kent and spends as much time as possible at a crumbling hamlet in Provence, the atmospheric setting for The Lantern and two Death in Provence novels, co-written as Serena Kent.
