Chris Whitaker

Chris Whitaker's previous novel, We Begin At The End, was a multi-award-winning smash with readers, who fell in love with its characters and pressed copies on friends so as to have someone to discuss it with. He’s done it again with All The Colours of the Dark, which again features characters that will get under your skin, a plot so propulsive the pages fly past, and a story that doesn’t release its grip on your heart. We spoke with Chris to find out more about creating characters, writing about a country he doesn’t live in, and the moments of trauma from his own life that find their way into his fiction.
