Mer om författaren

Elizabeth Jolley (1923-2007) was a critically acclaimed, bestselling Australian author. Born in England in 1923, she was brought up in a strict, German-speaking household and attended a Quaker boarding school. She became a nurse, married Leonard Jolley and with three children moved to Western Australia in 1959. Although she wrote all her life, it was not until she was in her fifties that her books started to receive the recognition they deserved. She won The Age Book of the Year Award on three separate occasions (for Mr Scobie's Riddle, My Father's Moon and The Georges' Wife) and she the Miles Franklin Award for The Well. In 2005, The Age newspaper wrote 'Elizabeth Jolley has been a gentle giant of the Australian literary world'; Susan Sheridan called her 'one of the great originals of Australian literature'.
