• This is such a good question, and such a tricky one to answer! For The Flatshare, the root of the idea came from my own living situation: I had just moved in with my boyfriend, a junior doctor, who was working lots of night shifts. Like Tiffy and Leon in The Flatshare, we shared a space but would go days without seeing each other - someone was always at home, but we weren’t there at the same time. The spark that started the novel came when I wondered, what would happen if two strangers lived this way? But this was unusual - most novel ideas don’t come to me quite so fully formed. I pick up pieces of ideas everywhere, and have tens - hundreds - sitting in the back of my mind. Most of them never turn into anything. They’re a fraction of an idea, nowhere close to a whole concept for a novel. But sometimes, after months and years, they might grow into something more, or link up with another idea, or change in a way that suddenly makes them much more interesting. It really is a peculiar process, but it’s wonderful too - there’s nothing better than the moment when you think, yes, this is a story. Yes, as far back as I can remember.
