I'm Claire Wade, the winner of the Good Housekeeping First Novel Competition 2018 and author of The Choice. |

I was bed bound for six years with severe ME, trapped in a body that wouldn't do what I wanted.
I now write about women who want to break free from the constraints of their lives, a subject I'm deeply familiar with.
My debut novel The Choice is out now.

What’s The Choice about?
Imagine a world where...
Everything you ate was monitored by the government.
Every step you took was counted.
Your children were weighed every day at school.
Neighbours reported on neighbours and no one was safe from judgement.
Sugar was illegal, and baking was a crime.
Imagine if that world was here... What would you do?
Toe the line or fight for your freedom...
