Sophie Duffy is the author of
Betsy and Lilibet,
​Bright Stars,
The Generation Game and 
This Holey Life.

​
A child of the 70s, Sophie Duffy grew up on a diet of Blue Peter and The Wombles which has fed her nostalgic outlook on life. But it’s not all been Space Dust and Arctic Roll. Over the years she has curated a catalogue of loss but her sense of the world being a good place shines through the heartache.
