Timeline

2006

Andrews died on 3 October 2006 in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.

In late 2006, Lucilla Andrews' autobiography No Time for Romance became the focus of a posthumous controversy. It has been alleged that the novelist Ian McEwan plagiarised from this work's description of Andrews' WWII nursing experiences while writing his novel, Atonement. McEwan has protested his innocence. The acknowledgements on the back page of Atonement had included Andrews' book as an inspiration and source. Andrews herself appeared to be untroubled by the connection between the books or the controversy.
