Broken Soup (15 page)
Authors: Jenny Valentine
Jenny Valentine
worked in a food shop for fifteen years, where she met many extraordinary people and sold more organic bread than there are words in her first book. She studied English literature at Goldsmith's College, which almost made her stop reading but not quite. Her debut novel,
ME, THE MISSING, AND THE DEAD,
won the prestigious Guardian Children's Fiction Prize in the UK under the title
FINDING VIOLET PARK.
Jenny is married to a singer/songwriter and has two children. She lives in Hay on Wye, England.
