Books that have spent weeks on the Sunday Times top ten best seller list. One of which, My Best Friends Girl was selected for the Richard and Judy Summer reads book club and sold over 500,000 copies 🙂
Born in London in 1971, she is a contemporary English writer. She gained 2 degrees in Psychology and Journalism university in Leeds. She wrote her first novel, the unpublished “There’s a thin line between love and hate” at just 13. She’s written for a number of woman’s magazines and newspapers, along with the list of novels above. Koomson spent a couple of years living in Sydney Australia and is now living in the south coast of England.
For me Dorothy Koomson has become a firm favourite. I’ve read all of the list above and her 7th novel The Woman He Loved Before is on my list. Published in February 2011, it’s storyline is as intriguing as the novels that have preceded it.
To put it into perspective:
‘Koomson takes the story to the darkest of places, creating a masterpiece of manipulation that builds layer by chilling layer to an outstanding climax’ – Daily Record
‘phenomenal, my favourite book of the year so far…..a well written and tension-laden book that will keep you hooked’ – chicklitviews.com
Praise for The Icecream Girls:
‘Movingly documents the heartbreak and emotional reshuffling of family and friends coping with love and loss’ – Daily Mail
‘beautifully written, with characters you’ll really care about-this is not to be missed’ – She
I would highly recommend this author. All her novels are thought provoking and tackle some gritty aspects of life.
