A Sharp Scratch

About the author

Heather Darwent is based just outside of Edinburgh, the setting for her Sunday Times bestselling debut, The Things We Do To Our
Friends. Originally from Yorkshire, she came to Scotland to study at the University of Edinburgh and ended up never quite leaving. When she’s not writing, you’ll find her reading chaotic non-
fiction about Silicon Valley and swimming in the sea . . . or being unbearably boring in conversation about swimming in the sea.
A Sharp Scratch is her second novel.
