Eleanor Anstruther
Eleanor Anstruther was born in London, educated at Westminster School and studied History of Art at Manchester University where she was distracted from finishing her degree by a trip to India. She was lost and found for the next twelve years, starting a commune and travelling the world before finally settling down to write her acclaimed debut novel, A Perfect Explanation, (Salt Books) which was long listed for the Desmond Elliott Prize and the 2019 Not The Booker Prize.
Founder of The Literary Obsessive, she’s since grown a significant following on Substack where she champions indie lit fiction, serialises her work before taking it to print, and runs the hugely successful 8 Questions.
