Author of more than twenty novels, short story collections and novellas, Patricia Scanlan knows more about books than most. Before becoming a novelist, she spent seventeen years working as a librarian in the Dublin City library system. The publication of City Girl in 1992 changed her life. Since then she has produced a string of successful books, including her most recent, Orange Blossom Days, published in March. Patricia is committed to the cause of adult literacy as the creator of the Open Door Series. She talks to Georgina Godwin.
