Kathryn Joyce

Kathryn Joyce, more widely known as Kathy, is a writer, traveller, and enthusiastic cook who found that time spent working in West Africa, Pakistan and Vietnam were great inspirations in her life. The year in Pakistan, she says, "introduced me to a colourful, exciting, diverse community that shattered the stereotypes and prejudices I didn't think I had".
Whilst there she wrote newsletters home, little realising they would later become the source of her debut novel, Thicker Than Soup.
