EAST OF THE SUN is everything a historical novel should be: alive with glorious detail, fascinating characters and masterful storytelling. Julia Gregson is a major talent in historical fiction, writing with tremendous warmth and insight. A perfect summer read - you can't read the book without falling in love with it.
Julia Gregson worked as a model for Hardie Amies before becoming a journalist. She was posted to Vietnam and India, and then worked for Rolling Stone in New York. She has interviewed Muhammad Ali, Buzz Aldrin, Ronnie Biggs and Hollywood royalty. Married with one daughter and four step-children, she lives in Wales with two Welsh cobs, a Shetland and two dogs. Sian Thomas won the Martini TMA Award for Best Actress as Yelena in Uncle Vanya on its Renaissance Tour and an Oliver Award Nomination for Best Comedy Performance as Vittoria in Countrymania at the RNT. She has performed numerous audiobooks including Another View by Rosamunde Pilcher, As The Crow Flies by Jeffrey Archer and A Season of Dylan Thomas.
Perfect holiday listening: a rich historical novel set in India in the late 1920s... The interplay of all [the characters'] stories creates a taut, never predictable plot, and Sian Thomas's narration is subtly graduated to suit the shifting moods of the heroines. - THE TIMES - Christina Hardyment
