Rachel Marks studied English at Exeter University before becoming a primary school teacher. Despite always loving to write, it wasn't until she gained a place on the 2016 Curtis Brown Creative online novel writing course that she started to believe it could be anything more than a much-loved hobby. She lives in Gloucestershire with her husband and their three children. Hello Stranger is her third novel.

Moving and poignant - a festive gem Sensitive, insightful and wonderfully authentic. A beautiful festive love story A gently woven love story imbued with Rachel Marks' signature warmth and honesty. Heartfelt, perceptive and very, very human Praise for Rachel Marks Clever, poignant and satisfying Eminently real and relatable A book to cancel plans for - we're still not over the ending Heartwarming . . . Lovely and thought-provoking A total delight. Beautifully observed, painfully funny and profoundly moving A truly adorable read that will, at various points, make you both laugh and cry. Told over a period of more than a decade โ€“ and seen through the eyes of both Laura and Luke โ€“ itโ€™s cleverly written with the festive season at the catalyst. A story that weaves its own magic so beautifully! Expand reviews
