Lissa Evans

Author

Lissa Evans is a British novelist and former television producer whose warm, witty fiction draws on twentieth-century history. She worked as a producer on shows including Room 101 and Father Ted before turning to writing. Crooked Heart is set during the Blitz and follows a ten-year-old evacuee who is billeted with a middle-aged petty... criminal, and the unlikely bond that forms between them. The novel was longlisted for the Baileys Women's Prize and is a warm, funny, and moving portrait of wartime London. Evans's other novels include Old Baggage and V for Victory. Her audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers warm, witty, beautifully crafted wartime fiction — novels that find humour and humanity in even the darkest times. Read more Show less
