Recenzje

Uproarious and affecting... eccentric and sympathetic... Lost & Found could be ginormous Independent

O autorze

Brooke Davis grew up in Bellbrae in Victoria, Australia, and attempted to write her first novel when she was ten years old. It was a genre-busting foray into the inner workings of a young teenage girl's mind - Anne of Green Gables meets The Baby-Sitters Club meets Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret - titled Summer Sadness. Fortunately it remains unfinished, as she quickly realized she didn't know the first thing about sadness, or being a teenager. Once she left those teenage years behind, she completed her honours degree in writing at the University of Canberra, winning the Allen & Unwin Prize for Prose Fiction, the Verandah Prose Prize, and the University Medal. Brooke recently completed her PhD in creative writing at Curtin University in Western Australia and, while there, was awarded the 2009 Bobbie Cullen Memorial Award for Women Writers, the 2009 AAWP Prize for Best Postgraduate Conference Paper, and the 2011 Postgraduate Queensland Writing Prize. She loves to sell other people's books, and is sometimes allowed to do that at two very nice bookshops: one in Perth and one in Torquay. Lost & Found is her first proper novel.
