National bestselling author Loretta Rothschild will be speaking about her debut novel, “Finding Grace”, which blends a page-turning moral dilemma with a sweeping love story exploring the price of secrets and asking whether it’s ever too late to tell the truth.
The story Loretta tells centres on Honor, whose life is nearly perfect. She adores her bright and beautiful daughter, Chloe, and her charming, handsome husband, Tom, even if he works one hundred hours a week. Yet Honor’s longing for another baby threatens to eclipse all that is wonderful - until a shocking event changes everything. Years later, Tom makes a decision that ripples through their family’s life in ways he could never have predicted. As the consequences of his choice continue to unfold, two women’s paths become irrevocably entwined.
“Finding Grace” has been selected as one of Goodreads hottest debuts of 2025 and was subject to an intensive bidding war amongst US publishers.

Loretta grew up in Essex, and now lives between England and Italy. She is passionate about writing original love stories with an inventive twist.
