It was a very relaxed environment; I remember lots of pottery making, drawing and story writing, which suited me perfectly. However, my parents had always harboured a dream of living in the country, and around my ninth birthday we moved for the last time, to Tutshill, a small village just outside Chepstow, in Wales.

The move coincided almost exactly with the death of my favourite grandparent, Kathleen, whose name I later took when I needed an extra initial.

Rowling wrote six more books in the series, completing Harry’s story.

The making of a bestseller

J.K. Inoltre, l’agenzia di lavoro temporaneo gli ha appena mandato la nuova segretaria, Robin, che starà da lui per poche settimane. In my first weeks in Portugal I wrote my favourite chapter in Philosopher's Stone, The Mirror of Erised.

I had hoped that when I returned from Portugal I would have a finished book under my arm.

On the plus side, studying French meant that I had a year living in Paris as part of my course.

After leaving university I worked in London; my longest job was with Amnesty International, the organisation that campaigns against human rights abuses all over the world.

We left the bungalow when I was four and moved to Winterbourne, also on the outskirts of Bristol.

In fact, I had something even better: my daughter. Then, on December 30th 1990, something happened that changed both my world and Harry's forever: my mother died.

It was a terrible time. After completing the manuscript, she sent the first three chapters to several literary agents. My mother said she was cold, my father offered her a half share in his coat, and they got married just over a year later, when they were nineteen.

Both left the navy and moved to the outskirts of Bristol, in the West of England.

I thought this was a great achievement, and set to work enlarging the hole with my own compass, so that by the time I left that classroom you could comfortably wiggle your thumb through it.

My secondary school, Wyedean, where I went when I was eleven, was the place I met Sean Harris, to whom Chamber of Secrets is dedicated and who owned the original Ford Anglia.

I studied French, which was a mistake; I had succumbed to parental pressure to study 'useful' modern languages as opposed to 'but-where-will-it-lead?' English and really should have stood my ground. I know I didn't invent this memory because I checked the details later with my mother. Now, Harry's feelings about his dead parents had become much deeper, much more real.

Il richiamo del cuculo è il primo volume di questa saga e precede Il baco da seta, La via del male, Bianco letale, Sangue inquieto, Un cuore nero inchiostro e Sepolcro in agguato.

Il richiamo del cuculo di Robert Galbraith (TEA, 2021, disponibile anche in versione eBook e in audiolibro) segna l’ingresso nel mondo del Giallo di una scrittrice famosissima.

Anyway, the brother has since cropped up in the press claiming to 'be' Harry. And so I set to work in a kind of frenzy, determined to finish the book and at least try and get it published. Barry Cunningham, head of Bloomsbury’s children’s books division, decided to publish the book after Bloomsbury’s head, Nigel Newton, shared it with his eight-year-old daughter, who loved the story.

Then I had to type the whole thing out myself. My father, Di and I were devastated; she was only forty five years old and we had never imagined - probably because we could not bear to contemplate the idea - that she could die so young.
