Her critically-acclaimed debut novel THE BEES was a fantasy set in a beehive and is now a bestseller, translated into 20 languages. Her second novel, THE ICE, a thriller set in the political arena of a melting Arctic, took her to the literal frontline of climate change, the boardrooms of London and an international arms fair.
Laline Paull shared how writing her novels has woken her up to a new political and environmental awareness and reinforced her belief in the power of fiction, our need for stories that tell the truth and the critical importance of more women in public life.
