Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Roma Tearne arrived with her parents in Britain from Sri Lanka at the age of ten and trained as a painter, completing her MA at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, Oxford. For nearly twenty years her work as a painter, installation artist, filmmaker and novelist has dealt with traces of history and memory in public and private spaces.
Roma’s first novel, Mosquito, was published by HarperCollins in March 2007. She is married with three children and lives in Oxford.
