Goodreads asked Anne Fine:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Anne Fine ‘Blood Family’ was one of my most recent books. A couple of years before, I'd written an historical novel for children called ‘The Devil Walks’, and was keen to explore similar ideas around the subject of child welfare in the modern day. How one approaches a topic is changed entirely by the life experiences of the reading audience. My novel for adults, ‘Fly in the Ointment’, deals with the very same themes, but in a very different way.
