Ella Berthoud is one half of the team behind The Novel Cure: an A-Z of Literary Remedies. Ella and co-author Susan Elderkin studied English Literature at Cambridge University, and have been friends ever since.

Together with Susan she co-founded the Bibliotherapy Service at The School of Life in London.
