The Girl Who Climbed on Rooves

Published by Fair Play Press, April 2026

A wild girl who once climbed on rooves. A secret never spoken. A catastrophe that changed everything.

A would-be biographer demands to know the life story of a well-loved composer of joyful but reflective music. She always evades him, but she confides in us, as she considers the extraordinary story of what made her, and the secrets of her creativity.

‘I didn’t want to stop reading this unique and wonderful book, and afterwards, my heart was ragged. She Woolfe says things that, to me, have not been said before.’
– Helen Elliott (critic)
