Maeve Binchy
A now-ex-partner's grandmother gave me a battered third-hand copy of The Glass Lake in the early 2000s when I was embarking on writing my first full-length fiction. I was instantly hooked. Having spent the first 25 years of my life in a small South Australian rural community, Maeve Binchy's brilliant depictions of small-town life and beautifully drawn, realistic characters struck an instant chord and had a profound and lasting impact on my own writing and storytelling.
