"It's exceptionally accomplished..The structure is so dazzling it almost distracts you from the quality of the writing." Guardian "S J Watson's debut doesn't put a foot wrong...brilliantly simple...Unforgettable." FT WEEKEND "Before I Go To Sleep is an astounding piece of work ...a tour de force, a haunting tapestry woven from a single woman's ragged thoughts, desperate to make sense of the past she constantly forgets... This is writing of the highest calibre." -- Chris Simmons Crimesquad.com "A taut and terrifying novel, with a grip of steel." woman&home "An unsettling, compulsive thriller...A truly gripping read." Marie Claire
S J Watson was born in the Midlands, lives in London and worked in the NHS for a number of years. In 2009 Watson was accepted into the first Faber Academy 'Writing a Novel' Course, a programme that covers all aspects of the novel-writing process. Before I Go to Sleep is the result. Now sold in over 30 languages around the world, Before I Go To Sleep has been also been acquired for film by Ridley Scott's production company, Scott Free, with Rowan Joffe to direct. Filming is scheduled to begin in 2011.
