I am a former teacher and headteacher, now a novelist, who lives by the sea in Brighton, on the south coast of England.

I'm a lifelong hispanophile, with a passion for Andalusia, all of it, but in particular the beguiling city of Córdoba and the glorious coast of Cádiz.

You can expect Spain and sunshine and sea and beach and snowstorms and octopi and wildness and birds and travel and wonder as the backdrop to my characters' lives.

I love to explore relationships in all their layered complexity. That's what my books are about: who we are and how we live and love.

The pain and the joy. The living and the dying. The love and the hope.

My next book comes out in June 2026.

“You don’t get over death,’ I said. ‘You swallow it inside you. And your grief forms a layer of you. Because that’s what we are, layer on layer of experience,”
Joanna Glen, All My Mothers

“saudade – a yearning for a happiness that has passed, or perhaps never existed.”
Joanna Glen, All My Mothers

“I didn’t bother to talk about the fact that love might be the hugest word there is in the world and that we would never, across a whole lifetime, work out what it meant.”
Joanna Glen, The Other Half of Augusta Hope
