About the author
Kate Grenville was born in Sydney in 1950 and is one of Australia’s best-known writers. Her novel The Idea of Perfection won Britain’s richest literary award, the Orange Prize, in 2001. Her other works of fiction include Lilian’s Story (winner of the Vogel/Australian Prize), Dark Places (winner of the Victorian Premiere’s Prize), Joan Makes History (awarded a Bicentennial Commission), Dreamhouse and Bearded Ladies. Lilian’s Story was made into a major feature film (starring Ruth Cracknell and Barry Otto), as was Dreamhouse (under the title Traps, starring Jacqueline Mackenzie). All her books have been published in the US and the UK and many have appeared in translation. Kate Grenville’s long experience as a teacher of creative writing has led to the publication of The Writing Book and Writing from Start to Finish, and she collaborated with Sue Woolfe on Making Stories<. All are used extensively by students of creative writing. She lives in Sydney with her husband, son and daughter, and has a website at: www.users.bigpond.com/kgrenville that has information on her books and resources for students and reading groups.
