==Biography==
Born in Hornsey, London, Gilbert was educated at the French Lycée in London and at a succession of boarding schools. She wrote about her early years in "Growing Pains", her contribution to a 1985 collection of autobiographical writing ''Truth, Dare or Promise''. She subsequently went to drama school. On graduating, her first acting role was as Mother Elephant in a production of Rudyard Kipling's ''Just So Stories'' for primary schools. The other peak of her success was playing a secretary murdered on page five of a BBC radio drama.〔(Short BBC biography )〕 She also worked as a nanny, a waitress, an artist's model and a clerk-typist. She took up writing in her twenties.〔(World Service profile )〕
She nominated ''A High Wind in Jamaica'' by Richard Hughes, first read to her by her father when she was eight, as a life-changing book.〔(Life Changing Reviews )〕 The one piece of advice her father, the writer Michael Gilbert, gave her about writing was: "For God's sake, don't use adverbs."〔(''Daily Telegraph'' obituary of Michael Gilbert, 10/02/2006 )〕 Her brother is the ''Independent'' journalist Gerard Gilbert.〔(''Independent'' obituary of Michael Gilbert, 10 February 2006 )〕
