作者簡介:Jane Stevenson was born in London in 1959, and brought up in London, Beijing, and Bonn. She learned to read at the age of three, since then she has done little else. She now teaches in the Centre for British and Comparative Culture Studies at the University of Warwick, and divides her time between living in a village in Warwickshire and travelling in Europe. Though she has published on a variety of academic subjects, this is her first collection of fiction. Her first novel, London Bridges, is published by Jonathan Cape in 2000.
