Robyn Sisman - Author
Robyn Sisman was born in Los Angeles, but lived in Illinois, Geneva, Oxford, and Munich as a child. She worked as an au pair, an English teacher in Ethiopia and then finally as a secretary in publishing - from where she worked her up to a glittering career - before changing it all and becoming a mother and bestselling novelist. Married to the biographer, Adam Sisman, Robyn lives in Bath. She died in May 2016.
October 2011 Book of the Month. Publisher turned Author Robyn Sisman's latest romantic romp sees husband and wife barristers pitted against each other in a high profile divorce case – but is there own young marriage strong enough to survive? This ‘battle of the sexes' story has lots of pithy wit but at its heart is a warm sympathetic portrayal of the stress and strains of high powered careers and the sometimes uncomfortable compromises you have to make.
October 2010 Good Housekeeping selection. Fans of Robyn Sisman’s romantic comedies will enjoy her latest witty and fast-paced drama The Perfect Couple as ambitious barrister Kate is determined to win a vicious celebrity divorce case. However, the lawyer on the other side is her husband…
A delightful comedy of errors in two halves which dovetail together beautifully. We have a fading Hollywood diva, at 29 fearing her superstardom is slipping and so tired of her life. She takes a lowly-paid part as Rosalind in As You Like It on a small London stage. Contrasting the life of a pampered American film star with that of a poor stage actress is done with much humour and insight. The twists and misunderstandings are charming in a most enjoyable romp where all’s well that ends well. I loved it. Comparison: Penny Vincenzi, Wendy Holden, Kathleen Tessaro.
