Finding Audrey

About the Author

Sophie Kinsella raced into the UK bestseller lists in September 2000 with her first novel, The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic. The book’s heroine, Becky Bloomwood, captured the hearts of readers worldwide and became the star of the hit movie Confessions of a Shopaholic.

Sophie wrote her first novel under her real name, Madeleine Wickham, aged 24, while working as a journalist. It became a top ten bestseller and she went on to publish six more novels as Madeleine Wickham. She submitted her first ‘Sophie Kinsella’ novel anonymously to her existing publishers and it was snapped up without her editors knowing that she was already one of their authors. It wasn’t until later, when the appropriately titled Can You Keep a Secret? was published, that Sophie revealed her true identity to the public for the first time.
