                                            Create a realistic portrait of a British novelist, specifically a female writer in her writing environment, perhaps surrounded by books or at a desk, reflecting her occupation and literary achievements, such as the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction nomination, with subtle hints at her London upbringing and University of Oxford education, capturing the essence of a 21st-century female author known for works like "The Bees," "The Ice," and "Pod" in the speculative fiction genre.
