Informazioni sull?autore

Phillipa Rees grew up in Southern Africa, where as an only child she accompanied her grandfather on safaris inspecting African schools in remote territories for weeks at a time. Something of that experience colours all her writing; solitude is explored through most of her characters, whether through their inner spaces of courage, or the ostracism directed at unorthodox convictions. The lonely courage of the individual is what draws her, whether she is writing novels, poetry, plays, or science. As a writer her greatest support came from a pen friend she never met, an eminent translator and literary critic, in whose memory this book is affectionately inscribed. Married with four adult daughters, after sojourns in Mozambique, Germany and Florida, she now lives in Somerset, England. Between constant writing she has converted a collection of barns to provide a performing space for young classical musicians, whose struggle to communicate is another kind of loneliness. DIY in spades might be her flippant way of summing up.
