Reina James

Black and white portrait of Reina James by Charlie Carter

Reina James lost two grandparents to the 1918 Spanish flu, which is the subject of her first novel, This Time of Dying. This Time of Dying was short-listed for the Commonwealth Best First Book Prize 2007 and was described by The Times as 'a five-star weepie'. Her second novel, The Old Joke, is published this month. She lives with her husband in Sussex.
