Dinah Jefferies

Dinah Jefferies is a Malayasian-born British novelist of historical fiction novels. Dinah moved to England when she was nine years old, and missed the heat of Malaysia. She studied Fashion Design, and lived in places like Tuscany (where she worked as an au pair for a countess), a hippie commune in Suffolk, and later Andalusia. Dinah suffered the loss of her young son, and draws on that experience in her writing. Her novels mix rich settings with history and human nature. Dinah lives in England with her husband.
