Yvonne Jerrold
My novels tend to focus on the inner lives of their characters - those hidden parts of their minds which even their nearest and dearest are unaware of - and on the dilemmas of people who feel they are trying to live in two different worlds at once.
I am intrigued by questions about how people see themselves. In this fast-changing world, what gives us our sense of belonging, or not belonging, to any place or group or culture?
I was born in Washington DC, educated in Dublin and Cambridge and now live in Cambridgeshire where I am planting a small woodland. You can see its progress on my website www.yvonnejerrold.com
