Autorenporträt
Maria de Andrade est née à Lisbonne, Portugal. Elle, son mari et leur jeune fils sont arrivés à Montréal, Canada, en 1979. Trente-cinq ans plus tard, le couple déménage à Laval, au nord de Montréal, pour se rapprocher de leur famille. L'auteure a déjà publié six livres en anglais, sa troisième langue : Memories of Lili, A Beagle's Life (2014), The Little Sect (2015), Cycles (2016), A Patch of Black Ice (2017), Looking for Daisy (2018) et While on a Cruise (2019). Son chien Miko (de Memories of Lili) est décédé en 2022 juste avant son quinzième anniversaire. Maria, qui se préparait déjà à écrire La femme qui ne pouvait pas parler, l'a réincarné en Bobi, un personnage canin dans ce nouveau romain publié après.
