Rebecca Thornton is the bestselling author of a series of acclaimed psychological thrillers that delve into the complexities of friendship, power, ambition and deception, with her fourth novel, Faculty of Liars, out in August. She’s a former journalist who has reported from conflict zones and international news stories, and brings a sharp eye for human behaviour and hidden motivations to her fiction.

As Rebecca shares her Three Rooms, she reveals how even thinking about them have uncovered aspects of her life and personality that she’d not considered, and how these spaces are significant markers in how her outlook on life has unfolded.

During the conversation, Rebecca explains her former condition, aphantasia, and how moving through the world with this very rare way of interpreting it has affected her reaction to home and space.

Faculty of Liars is out on 6 August
