"INTACT celebrates a sixty-year-old woman whose promise as an artist has never been fulfilled because her love life didn't run to plan. Most of us aim to live and love well, and are bruised by reality. But I didn't want Mags to be a victim; now she can shape her own future. It's a novel about relationships with others and oneself. But it's also about a nonbinary man, which is of interest to me because I'm married to one." Sue Hampton
