Über den Autor
Caroline Lea grew up on the island of Jersey and gained a First from Warwick University. Her fiction and poetry have been shortlisted for the Bridport Prize, while her debut novel, The Glass Woman -a gothic thriller set during the Icelandic witch trials - was shortlisted for the Historical Writers Association Debut Crown Award. Her next novel, The Metal Heart - a powerful Second World War love story set on the island of Orkney - was selected as a Waterstones Scottish Book of the Month. Prize Women, her latest novel, is inspired by film footage Caroline found, showing the women who took part in the Great Stork Derby. Caroline was immediately struck by the awful implications of a competition which made women compete to have children, and by the fact that such a shocking story had remained buried for so long.
