Fanny Blake writes women’s fiction about the messy, complicated middle of adult life. Her novels follow women dealing with family crises, shifting friendships, and the realization that life hasn’t turned out quite the way they planned. Titles like What Women Want, Women of a Dangerous Age, and The Secrets Women Keep signal her focus on female experience.
Before turning to fiction, Blake worked in publishing, including a stint as a commissioning editor. Her non-fiction includes books tied to the Channel 4 property show A Place in the Sun. Her more recent novels, including Italian Summer, A Summer Reunion, and The Daughter-in-Law, continue her exploration of domestic relationships and the tensions that run beneath polite surfaces.
