Autorenporträt

Dr. Sally Berridge had a Kipling-esque beginning. Born in the foothills of the Himalayas, she is a daughter of the Raj. During the war her mother died in Calcutta from typhoid, so she was sent 'home' to boarding school in England at the age of seven to be adrift in a strange country. Then, with her father, an inarticulate (though verbose) ex-Indian Army colonel, and a duty-bound step-mother she went to live on a farm in colonial Kenya in a position of privilege that was empty of loving care. She returned to England for university studies and eventually migrated to Australia in 1966. The turmoil of her early life, the gaps in her family history and the effects of four migrations induced her to write her story.
