Sandra Nicholls's Reading Interests
Influences
The most influential writer for me is Kate Grenville. When I read "The Idea of Imperfection", I realized it was possible to be funny and literary at the same time, and this was a revelation for me.

I am also highly influenced by poetry, the first genre I began working in, and here I am thinking of Sharon Olds, Jane Kenyon, and Galway Kinnell.
