Sophie Crockett was brought up on a yacht as her parents circumnavigated the globe. She now divides her time between Portobello Road, London, and the beech forests of the Montagne Noire of Southern France. Sophie speaks French and Russian, and her experiences in far-flung places inform much of her writing. She is married to the artist Timothy Shepard and has two children. ONE CROW ALONE is her second novel. The first, AFTER THE SNOW, was shortlisted for the Branford Boase first novel award.
'Crockett has created a voice that gets inside you . . . a truly transcendent coming-of-age novel.' - The New York Times Editor's Pick
