She also worked for the Times, the Daily Telegraph and the Evening Standard. Steiner wrote extensively about losing her eyesight to retinitis pigmentosa, or RP – a hereditary disease – and was registered as fully blind six months after her “lifelong dream came true” when her first novel sold in a publishing auctionwrote in the Guardian
“Her special insight made her not just a critically acclaimed and bestselling writer, but also a generous and sharply funny friend who will be missed by everyone who knew her. It also made her a passionately attentive, thoughtful mother to her two sons, who, along with her husband, Tom, were always the centre of her world.
