Maeve Haran Biography

Maeve Haran is an Oxford Law graduate who worked in journalism and television before writing her first novel, Having It All, a worldwide bestseller translated into 26 languages, and turned into a miniseries in Korea! She wrote eight more contemporary novels, one work of non-fiction, The Froth on the Cappuccino, extolling life's small pleasures and three years ago began to write historical fiction.
