About The Author

Emma Rendel was born in 1976 in Uppsala, Sweden. She studied illustration and graphic design at Central St Martin's and Communication Arts and Design at the Royal College of Art. She contributes to Galago, Hjelp and Le Gun, and her illustrations have been published in Icon magazine and Time Out. Her second book, The Vicar Woman, was published by Jonathan Cape in 2012.

Something incredibly dark lurks behind Emma Rendel's jaunty characters and nimble artwork; something shrewdly and deftly captured. It's a brilliant read – sinister and amusing in equal measures
