Marcia Willett began her career as a novelist when she was fifty years old. Since that first novel Marcia has written twenty more under her own name as well as a number of short stories. She has also written four books under the pseudonym "Willa Marsh", and is published in more than sixteen countries.

“the ingredients for lunch: ciabatta bread, couscous salad with apricots, ham, and a goat’s cheese flan,”
Marcia Willett, The Sea Garden

“Some of the cottages have tiny courtyards surrounded by high stone walls. These walls are bright with flowers: valerian, feverfew, mallows, lace cap hydrangeas spring from the crevices in these stones and flourish in the salty air.
If she looks across the river Evie can see Kingswear with its tier upon tier of houses stacked on the hill above the marina: narrow terraced houses the color of ice cream: mint, vanilla, bubblegum, coffee.”
Marcia Willett, Summer On The River

“side. When she tries to explain her passion for it he reminds her how Anthony Trollope wrote all his books after a hard day’s work at the Post Office.”
Marcia Willett, The Sea Garden
