Eleanor Thom is the author of Connective Tissue. Set in South-West Scotland, 2010, air-traffic controller Helena's baby is born with unexplained paralysis. Faced with an unforgiving medical establishment, she turns to the Jewish grandmother she never knew, unfolding the past in search of answers. Eleanor's first novel won the Saltire First Book of the year in 2009, and she works as the Communities Writer in Residence for the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
