Jolie Booth

Jolie Booth was born in Colchester,
England in 1978. She writes books for both adults and children, often blending counterculture reality with outright fantasy. Her first novel, The Girl Who'll Rule the World, sold out it's first edition within a month. Alice Holland of Clitarati described her writing as 'Rich' and 'Idiosyncratic'. Using stream of consciousness, unreliable narrators and broken narratives, Jolie plays with time, form and structure in a playfully post-modernist way, making her prose challenging for the average reader unfamiliar with this style. Her work often raises and dissects issues, politics and ideas from a truly original perspective.

Her novels for adults are The Girl Who'll Rule the World (2016), part one of the Saturn Returns series, which follows the year in the life of a 28 year old woman called Esmeralda who is living on the hedonistic fringes of society; Never Worn (2018), part two in the Saturn Returns series, drops back into Esmeralda's life at the age of 35 as she goes through her third and final round of IVF; The Meaning of Life (due for publication in 2021), part three in the Saturn Returns series, follows Esmeralda at the age of 42 as she figures out what the point is to it all.

Her popular first novel for children, The Wonderful World of Why Not, was self published in 2013 under the pen name Jolie Pierce and its sequel, Megafun Forest Chums Vol 1, was also self published in 2013.
