About Claire Wade

Claire Wade is the winner of the Good Housekeeping Novel Competition 2018. She was bed bound for six years with severe ME trapped in a body that wouldn't do what she wanted; her only escape was through her imagination. She now writes about women who want to break free from the constraints of their lives a subject she's deeply familiar with.Her favourite things are books baking and the WI. She's the founding president of a modern WI (Women's Institute) and runs a baking club for other cake lovers. You'll find her in her writing room nicknamed Narnia because it's also home to a wardrobe and is the place where she escapes to other worlds. She's happiest if she's got a slice of chocolate cake a cup of tea and a good book.
