Emily Winslow is an American writer living in Cambridge, England. THE WHOLE WORLD, her first novel, came out from Delacorte Press/Random House in 2010. Her second novel, THE START OF EVERYTHING, is scheduled to launch from the same publisher on January 8th 2013.
In 2006, I moved to Cambridge with my British husband and two little boys.
Our dream house was almost complete, and we moved in while it was still technically
a building site, with an office in the garage and twenty or so hard-working guys we
didn't yet know wandering in and out all day. I was eager to get away from the hammering and painting to explore the city.
Cambridge architecture thrilled me. The way some people get about sunsets and mountains? That's how I get about great buildings. And the people! Everyone's passionate about something. Sometimes their passion is whatever they studied or teach; our neighbors include two archaeologists, an astrophysicist and a medievalist. Or, as is the case with the foreman in charge of our house build, passion asserts itself through a hobby: in his spare time, he's an internationally acknowledged expert in Norwich canaries!
I fell in love with Cambridge, its gorgeousness and quirkiness and way the University permeates the city. This book began as my attempt to describe it. I wanted to capture some of that thrill.
