Andrea Gillies is the author of three books: the novel THE ENLIGHTENMENT OF NINA FINDLAY (2014), the novel THE WHITE LIE (2012), and the non-fiction book KEEPER, which won the Wellcome Book Prize 2009 and the Orwell Book Prize 2010. 

THE ENLIGHTENMENT OF NINA FINDLAY, set in Edinburgh and a small Greek island, charts the complicated unravelling of a midlife love triangle. “Surprising and moving" - Daily Express.

KEEPER is an unusual book about dementia: mixing a diary of two years spent living with someone with Alzheimer’s with neurological delving and a meditation on the links between memory and identity.

THE WHITE LIE is about a landed Scottish aristocratic family who go to great lengths to keep a dark secret concerning a death, and takes us back to the harmless lie that was at the root of their catastrophe, and was the cause of a second death.
