Eva Carter is the author of How to Save a Life. Carter is a pseudonym for internationally bestselling nonfiction and rom-com writer Kate Harrison, who worked as a BBC reporter before becoming an author. She lives in Brighton on the English coast and loves Grey’s Anatomy and walking her own scruffy terrier, who regularly volunteers as a therapy dog at the local hospital.
Carter's new novel is Owner of a Lonely Heart.
At Lit Hub she tagged eight books with happy endings to brighten up dark January days. One title on the list:
I Capture the Castle by Dodie SmithRead about another entry on the list.
And if you’re a sucker for a castle and an eccentric, impoverished family, this vintage book by Dodie Smith (author of The 101 Dalmatians)will capture your imagination. The opening line—I write this sitting in the kitchen sink—draws you into a world you won’t want to leave.
I Capture the Castle is among Claire Fuller's seven top uninhabitable houses in fiction, Sarah Driver's five best sibling stories for children, Gail Honeyman's five favorite idiosyncratic characters, Anna Wilson's top ten embarrassing parents in books, Rose Mannering’s top five books, Diane Johnson's six favorite books, and Sophia Bennett's top ten stylish reads.
