  <about><![CDATA[Women's &lt;b&gt;friendship and courage&lt;/b&gt;, this is what I always come back to in my books. I am fascinated by the way history unfolds in the present, both in the broader sense and in personal life, and the redemptive power of sharing secrets. Interconnections always seem to come up in my work. And as my focus is the lives of ordinary women who are also extraordinary, children, sex, work and secrets also figure large.
