Caymanian author Sara Collins has joined the exclusive club of authors seeing their characters come to life with the television premiere of her first novel, 'The Confessions of Frannie Langton'.

Award-winning local author Sara Collins's breakout novel 'The Confessions of Frannie Langton' is being brought to life in a British television series featuring actress Karla-Simone Spence in the lead role, ITV has announced.

It was the kind of reception usually reserved for visiting celebrities. A line of people snaked outside the door of Books & Books, Friday, many of them clutching copies of the hard-back version of ‘The Confessions of Frannie Langton’ for the author to sign.

It is the kind of success every author dreams of, but rarely realises: a smash hit first novel.

The debut novel, ‘The Confessions of Frannie Langton’, has been universally praised by reviewers across the UK, and is being adapted for the screen.

It took a lot of work and a “little bit of madness” but Cayman Islands author Sara Collins has made her lifelong dream come true.

Sara Collins is well known in the Cayman Islands as a commercial lawyer, a human rights advocate and a mother to five children. Now she can add the title of acclaimed literary novelist to that list.
