Drew Davies
Drew Davies doesn’t come from a family of writers, and says he believes he’s the first in his own family to write fiction. ‘But my dad’s Irish and loves telling a funny story, and my English mum is an educator and trainer, so if you boil all that up, my writing makes some kind of genetic sense,’ he says.
Drew’s latest novel is and he feels this new book is a reaction against his previous ones. ‘ is a bustling, multi-narrative romantic comedy, and is a very emotional tale of two sisters, so I wanted to explore something more introspective in my third novel,’ he explains. ‘One day, I needed something from the mall in. Over breakfast in the empty food hall, I scoped out the bones of the book. I wanted to explore a quiet marriage, and how people on the outside (and also the central protagonist, middle-aged Mrs Dixit herself) might come to judge that.
