Four books that changed Alison Booth

ALL THE BIRDS, SINGING
Evie Wyld

Halfway through what I'd hoped was the final edit of my latest novel, A Perfect Marriage, I read All the Birds, Singing. A short and beautifully written book, it has a deceptively simple structure that I found particularly exciting: the backstory moves back in time while the front story moves forward in time. I loved reading this book that inspired me to be more adventurous with the structure of my own novel.
