Lizzie Pook is a British journalist who turned to fiction with a taste for vivid historical settings and stories rooted in real events. Her debut, Moonlight and the Pearler’s Daughter, is set in the brutal pearl-diving town of Bannin Bay in 1880s Australia, where a young woman investigates her father’s disappearance.
Her second novel, Maude Horton’s Glorious Revenge, moves between Victorian London and an ill-fated Arctic expedition, following a woman seeking the truth about her sister’s death. Pook’s journalism background shows in her attention to period detail and her willingness to take readers to places that are physically and morally harsh.
