My grandmother worked on a fruit and vegetable market stall.
My grandmother told stories; she was very good at that.
It's hard to sleep at night because I'm still wondering where my mother is.
I inherited my love of gold jewellery from my grandmother.
I grew up in a bookish family, so I read very widely. I was omnivorous, really.
I have a very quiet life. There's nothing weird.
I would describe my mother as a steel magnolia. She was very intelligent, very persuasive.
I'm not 100% nice all the time, so I find it quite hard to be really pleasant.
I was quite a reader before I became a writer.
