Amanda Craig crafts novels that dissect contemporary British society with a concise, acerbic satirical edge. Her approach to fiction has drawn comparisons to literary giants like Anthony Trollope and Charles Dickens. Craig often builds upon her interconnected novel sequence by shifting focus to minor characters from previous works, making them protagonists in new narratives. She also demonstrates a keen interest in children's literature, serving as a critic for The Times in this genre.
'A Vicious Circle' exposes the corruption of London's journalistic circuit, the horrors of our hospitals and slums, and the transformations caused by motherhood. Gripping, tender and fiercely funny, it has been instantly recognised as a modern classic about the way we live now.
It isn't easy being a tween, and it isn't easy parenting them, but family therapist Dr. Amanda Craig will teach parents how to best support and connect with their tweens while they grow into healthy, happy adults.
Savagely funny, compelling and a cult classic, A Private Place has struck a chord with generations. It's now available with a new afterword by the author.
