About Sophie Morton-Thomas
Travel by Night is my first novel and was created from my desire to show a bit of a fight against the patriarchy. I also wanted to show the strength of true friendship in a story that was set in the North of England, where I lived for a while. I work as an English teacher, have three children (two grown up) and am studying for my Master's in writing at Cambridge University.

Books By Sophie Morton-Thomas
"A dark and deliciously tense modern fairy-tale, brutal and beautiful"
~ Sophie Hannah, multi-million bestselling author of Haven't They Grown
A nebulous memory. Caught in a dangerous trap. A life-changing discovery.
When Yalina wakes in hospital following surgery, she doesn’t recognise her own parents.
Following her release, she decides to meet her estranged brother, Ali, in Sheffield. On her arrival, Yalina is taken to a house where girls are held against their will and forced into sex slavery. Too late, she realises she has fallen into a trap.
Over time, Yalina discovers a love of playing the old piano that lives in the house. It keeps her sane. As friendships blossom between the women, Yalina finds herself taking a young girl, Rebecca, under her wing.
When the women are threatened with violence, Yalina reluctantly accepts help from a stranger she met in the house. But he carries a secret that could impact on her whole life.
Will Yalina escape her captors? And how will she cope with the unexpected revelation?
