My Man in a Bowler Hat is inspired by the lives of Emily’s grandparents.

Set in post-war England, in 1946, it is the tale of a young refugee, Hanns, and his new bride Christine, coming up against racial prejudice at a friend’s cocktail party. 

“Gorgeous and moving. I adored it.”
— Imogen Hermes Gowar, bestelling author of The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock
