Melanie Rose was an avid reader from an early age and found
herself looking at the world around her and wondering 'what if?'
She began writing as a teenager, progressing to short stories and
articles for magazines and newspapers. She trained as a nursery
nurse and later became a play therapist on the children's ward at
the Royal Marsden Hospital, continuing to write in her spare
time.
She self-published her first novel which was voted one of the
favourite reads of the year by listeners of Radio 4's Open Book
programme.
She now lives in Surrey with her husband and four sons, who, along
with many of the children she has cared for, provide much
inspiration for her books.

It’s Cecelia Ahern territory, highly recommended.’ The Bookseller ‘A complex and captivating novel which takes that feeling of deja vu to a new dimension … Rose is fast becoming an accomplished writer and her clever books an unmissable treat.’ Lancashire Evening Post ‘Highly recommend.’ The Bookseller
