Welcome to my Amazon page. If you love relatable, emotionally driven, character lead fiction that shines a light on family life and the trials and tribulations that affect us all, then you’re in the right place! My name is Amanda Prowse, now nearly sixty, I started writing in my mid-forties. I divide my time between London where I live by the river and our farm in the West Country. I’m passionate about the representation of women. My characters range in age from six to ninety-six and come from all walks of life. The women in my stories face adversity head on, they grab opportunity by the handful and run towards the horizon, often doing so with a large dollop of humour. My stories sometimes punch you in the gut with their realism but also leave you with a glimmer of hope – and the feeling that you are not alone. Tales that will make you ugly cry and laugh out loud – sometimes on the same page! I’ve sold millions of books, translated into dozens of languages all around the world. Described by the Daily Mail as ‘The queen of family drama’ my novels have won awards, including the coveted Sainsbury's eBook of the year Award and I’ve had two books selected as World Book Night titles; 'Perfect Daughter' in 2016 and 'The Boy Between' (co-written with my son Josiah Hartley) in 2022. I’m a huge supporter of libraries and am a proud ambassador for The Reading Agency. My ambition is to create stories that keep people from turning the bedside lamp off at night, great characters that ensure you take every step with them and tales that fill your head so you can't possibly read another book until the memory fades... I’m a passionate advocate of ageing naturally and gratefully, and see every wrinkle, every line, every blemish on my face as a badge of honour – remembering always what a gift ageing is. This part of my wider belief that when women support women, magical things can happen. When the time comes – this is what I’d like written on my headstone: ‘Wrote great stories, made a cracking roast potato…’ – what more could I ask for? Praise for Amanda Prowse: ‘Amanda Prowse is “The Queen of Family Drama”’ – Daily Mail 'You'll fall in love with this...' – Cosmopolitan 'Powerful and emotional drama that packs a real punch' – Heat ‘Heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal measure’ – The Lady 'Deeply moving and emotional’ – Red ‘Amanda Prowse handles her explosive subjects with delicate skill’ – Daily Mail ‘Captivating, heartbreaking and superbly written’ – Closer ‘Uplifting and positive but you will still need a box of tissues’ – Hello!

All books are standalone stories, but some do share characters who pop up for cameo appearances in other titles. For the small number of books that are linked as a collection, it is suggested that they are read in this order: 'Clover's Child' is the prequel to 'Poppy Day' and 'Will You Remember Me?' is the sequel to 'Poppy Day’, so read Poppy Day first and after that, you could read the other two in any order. 'A Little Love' should be read before 'Christmas for One' 'Anna', 'Theo' and ‘Kitty’ are best read in that order Amanda welcomes queries from readers.
