Autorenporträt

Australian Cheryl Adam spent her childhood in rural Australia where her love of storytelling began. In adulthood, she travelled widely and lived overseas including in Zambia (then Northern Rhodesia), Kenya, South Africa, Norway, Jersey, England, and Sweden. She has been evicted, kidnapped, abandoned, made homeless, and discriminated against in her foreign adventures and this helped develop her deep empathy for the plight of immigrant women, as for Lillian in this story. In the 1960s, she was deported from Kenya and arrived as an unwanted guest in Sweden.
