Catherine Chisnall

About

Born in the Midlands of England, Catherine Chisnall now lives with her husband and child in the South.

She has had a varied career working in banks, libraries and charities, and, for the last 10 years, secondary and further education.

The sequel to 'Descending' is 'Surfacing'. Both books have received considerable acclaim for the social realism and the sparse elegance of Catherine Chisnall's writing.
