I thought I was writing the book for my generation...but when it came out in 2009 I knew it was being read by a lot of younger readers, including Ambika who read it as a teenager.
It's often quite an adversarial relationship between a novelist and the people adapting their work, because a big part of the job is discarding material. But I never felt like I was losing control.
