Jennie Godfrey was raised in West Yorkshire and her debut novel, The List of Suspicious Things, is inspired by her childhood there in the 1970s. Jennie is from a mill-working family, but as the first of the generation born after the mills closed, she went to university and built a career in the corporate world. In 2020 she left and began to write. She is now a writer and part-time Waterstones bookseller and lives in the Somerset countryside.
A touching paean to lost innocence and the comfort of friendships,
its dark undertow leavened by stout Yorkshire humour
*The Times*
I absolutely adore it!
*Marian Keyes*
Godfrey succeeds brilliantly in fitting a gripping and moving story
in the interstices of a horrific episode in recent history, without
ever trivialising, taking focus from, or minimising the lasting
impact of the original crimes.
*Guardian*
There's been buzz around this novel - for good reason. Endearing
characters and nostalgic details make this a must-read
*Good Housekeeping*
One of the buzziest debuts of 2024, and deservedly so….prepare to
have all the feelings
*Red*
