Local author, Isabel Ashdown, has four books to her name with another due out this spring. Her first novel Glasshopper (Observer Best Debuts of 2009, Evening Standard Best Books of the Year) was published in 2009. An extract from the novel won the Mail on Sunday Novel Competition and was described by judges Fay Weldon, Michael Ridpath and Sir John Mortimer as ‘magnificent’. Her second novel Hurry Up And Wait was published to critical acclaim in 2011 and was listed as one of Amazon Kindle’s Customer Favourites in 2011. Her third book, Summer of ’76 followed in 2013 and she will be talking about her most recent novel Flight which came out in May 2015.
