OQ Rebecca Stonehill's first novel, 'The Poet’s Wife' is an extraordinary piece of storytelling spanning over fifty years – a heart wrenching novel of a family devastated by war but bound together by love, loss and hope, told through the eyes of three remarkable women.

Rebecca is from London but currently lives in Nairobi with her husband and three young children. In the past she has been a travel consultant, EFL teacher and piano teacher, but is now devoting her time to her love of creative writing by setting up Magic Pencil, an initiative to take creative writing and poetry into schools and get children excited about storytelling, language and the magic of words.
