Ilona Bannister Books
Ilona Bannister's fiction is deeply informed by her background as a dual-qualified US attorney and UK solicitor, where she worked closely with families navigating challenging circumstances. Her experiences as an American expat in her adopted country also fuel her keen observation of people and the struggles of those on the outside. Bannister masterfully captures the nuances of human behavior when faced with adversity. She writes with a perceptive eye for the difficult situations people find themselves in.
A rich, bighearted debut that takes us from working-class Staten Island in the wake of the September 11th attacks to moneyed London a decade later, revealing a story of loss, motherhood, and love found in the most impossible of places, perfect for fans of Gail Honeyman and Ann Napolitano.
