Caroline Swinburne originally studied music and joined the BBC aiming to work for Radio 3 but became side-tracked by speech radio. For over two decades she worked as a reporter and producer making features about the developing world. Following the birth of her two sons, she retrained as a music therapist and – originally a French horn player – became obsessed with the piano. She now runs a successful teaching practice in South East London, as well as writing music-themed fiction. Her debut novel, Solo, was published by The Book Guild in September 2025; her second, Khrushchev's Piano, will be released in November 2026
