Biography
Carol Topolski is the author of the Orange prize long-listed Monster Love and Do No Harm, both from Penguin. She is a graduate of the prestigious MA in Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia.
Before turning to writing full-time, she enjoyed a long and enriching career as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. She also served as a film censor with the British Board of Film Classification for twelve years, a music festival organiser, advertising executive, teacher, nursery school director, director of a rape crisis centre and refuge for battered women, and a probation officer.
She lives in London and is married with two daughters.
I started to read it and had an immediate frisson, a feeling of the hairs standing up on the back of my neck.
