Sophia Tobin was raised in Kent and lived in London for many years. She has studied History and History of Art, and worked for a Bond Street antique dealer for six years, specialising in silver and jewellery. She currently works as a librarian in the goldsmithing industry. 

Inspired by her research into a real eighteenth-century silversmith, Tobin began to write The Silversmith’s Wife, which was shortlisted for the Lucy Cavendish College Fiction Prize.  It was published by Simon & Schuster in 2014. Her second work of historical fiction, The Widow’s Confession, was published in 2015, and her third, The Vanishing, in 2017. A Map of the Damage, her fourth book, was published in 2019.

Sophia’s articles have featured in a wide variety of publications, from Silver Studies to The Guardian.
