Daisy Goodwin published two non-fiction books in 2007. Silver River is a memoir about her family’s split identity between Argentina and England. Her mother’s side came from Irish emigrants who moved to the pampas and experienced cycles of rapid wealth and sudden ruin, alongside gambling, horses, and breakdowns. Goodwin’s own mother left when Daisy was five, and the memoir traces how that abandonment, combined with the broader family history, caught up with her after the birth of her own daughter.

Bringing Up Baby (2007) takes a different approach entirely, surveying parenting advice from various eras. Together, the two books represent the non-fiction side of Goodwin’s career, which she pursued alongside her television production work and poetry anthologies before her move into historical fiction with My Last Duchess in 2010.
