Haematemesis: How One Man Overcame a Fear of Things Medical and Learned to Navigate His Way Around Hospital - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Henry Sheppard was born in Melbourne in 1954, the second of eight children, to a schoolteacher of Irish descent and a Polish refugee, a former slave labourer in Nazi Germany. His father became an alcoholic and abandoned the family when Henry was nine. His mother brought the children up on her own. After completing high school in rural Victoria, Henry itinerated around Australia, working in a wide range of jobs, before settling in Adelaide. Today he lives with his wife Rainee, and divides his time between writing, gardening and trips to hospital.
