Sophia Tobin was raised in Kent and lived in London for many years. She has studied History and History of Art, and specialised in jewellery and silver, working for a Bond Street antique dealer and as a chartered 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. Three more books followed: The Widow’s Confession (2015); The Vanishing (2017); and A Map of the Damage (2019).
Her articles have featured in a wide variety of publications, from Silver Studies to The Guardian.
Sophia now writes full-time under a different pen name.
