THE ACCUSATION

Cover Image Of The Book 'The Accusation' By Author Zosia WandEve lives in the beautiful Cumbrian town of Tarnside with her husband Neil. After years of trying, and failing, to become parents, they are in the final stages of adopting four-year-old Milly.

Though she already feels like their daughter, they just have to get through the ‘settling in’ period: three months of living as a family before they can make it official.

But then Eve’s mother, Joan, comes to stay.

Joan has never liked her son-in-law. He isn’t right for Eve; too controlling, too opinionated. She knows Eve has always wanted a family, but is Neil the best man to build one with? 

Then Joan uncovers something that could smash Eve’s family to pieces…

ZOSIA WAND – (Author image by Mark Harrison)

Image Of Author Zosia Wand Taken By Mark HarrisonA vibrant mix of Polish and English, Zosia has an exotic name and can do miraculous things with a cabbage, but speaks with a cockney accent. She makes and drapes her house in bunting, likes fairy lights and fairy tales and continues to obsess about the contents of the perfect sandwich. She might raise her head from a book occasionally to feed her long suffering children, but they don’t hold their breath, suspecting she prefers her imaginary characters to the real ones that surround her.

An urban southerner living in the north west, she has driven the same car for what seems like 100 years and climbs Hoad Hill every day, to a lighthouse with no lamp, to look out across the sands of Morecambe Bay. It should come as no surprise that she settled in a Cumbrian festival town famous for breaking the world record in pie fighting.  She loves to write and read and runs creatively stimulating events and courses for people who share the same passions.

Zosia gained an MA with distinction in Creative Writing from Lancaster University in 1999 and has written many plays, several of which, together with a drama serial, have been broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and produced for the stage. She also wrote and performed the monologue, Pearl, at the Brewery Arts Centre Kendal (November 2012).

Her first novel, Trust Me, was  published by Head of Zeus in October 2017.

I can’t remember a time, even as a child, when I haven’t been passionate about books and reading.
I began blogging, when I realised just how many other people out there shared my passion for the written word and I have been continually amazed at the wealth of books that are available and the amount of great new friends I have made, from literally 'The Four Corners Of The World'.
