Former bookbinder Emma Healey's first novel hasn't even been published yet, but she has already appeared on lists including the Evening Standard's 'Londoners to watch in 2014' and Flavor Wire's '25 Women Poised to Lead the Culture in 2014'.

Her book, Elizabeth is Missing, was won by Viking after a nine way publisher auction at the London Book Fair in 2013 and follows an elderly woman suffering from dementia who is searching for her friend Elizabeth, and in the process unlocks memories of her sister Sukey disappearing half a century earlier. The book is published on June 5.
