The expat life was a good one: There was my French boyfriend. My bright two-bedroom flat in Islington. My wine at lunch.

We never had books at home, but my dad, seeing how keen I was to read, took me to Islington Library when I was about eight and we pulled out two – a Biggles and a science fiction novel.
